    L&R Locks?

    I don't have much experience, but I just swapped out a Traditions lock about 3 weeks ago. I used the L&R RPL and the difference is great- it works now. My problem is there is a casting flaw in the cock so I have to send it back.

    1st attempt at antler powder charger

    I like it, it looks great. I've been thinking of making one, tired of fiddling with the adjustable brass one. Great job!

    Difference in stock blank grades between suppliers?

    That's good to know Rich, I have contact info for Dunlap but not for Freddie Harrison. I'm looking for really good stocks, due to what I gleaned from my other post about curly maple, I'm further ahead buying the blanks than sawing all my hard maples looking for curl. I won't mind paying the...

    Difference in stock blank grades between suppliers?

    I didn't realize they would sell soft maple like that.

    Difference in stock blank grades between suppliers?

    Hello, is there a difference in how curly maple stocks are graded? Is a premium ++ from one supplier as nice as the same grade from another? Are there any suppliers in particular who consistently provide really nice blanks when you buy the higher grade? Thanks.

    From tree to stock question

    Rich, It's that one in a hundred I'd like to find- without sawing out all 100 of course :grin:

    From tree to stock question

    That is a nice piece of wood! I did not realize that the grain could be like that in a whole tree- WOW! Time to start sawing I think :hmm:

    From tree to stock question

    Hello, I am wondering if any of you have tried getting stock blanks from your own trees? I had one guy tell me that curly maple is wood that has been under more compression than a normal straight tree. I have a bandmill and lots of hard maple trees and plenty of felling experience, but would...

    I could use some good advice

    Thanks to all! So all is not lost, that's good to know.

    I could use some good advice

    Hello, I anxiously waited for my kit to come. Life has it's turns and I buried a parent the day it came. Thinking it might give my mind a break, I started on it a few days later. Lesson #1 that one or all of you already know, have a clear head when working on a rifle. This was several months...

    New lock for a Traditions Deerhunter

    Thanks all, I just found that lock on the Dixie site too. My build is not ready to hunt with yet and it's 3 weeks til our flint season. I kept saying I wouldn't buy a Traditions, but this one was close to home and priced OK, considering. I shot it and aside from me being very very new with this...

    New lock for a Traditions Deerhunter

    I have read on here about replacing the lock on a Traditions rifle using an L&R lock. Can you tell me which one fits? Thanks

    Trigger inletting question

    Thanks folks! You'll chuckle at my greenness, did not realize the guard could be bent some. You all have explained so that I get what you are saying. Thank you again.

    Trigger inletting question

    The rifle is an A.Figthorn type with a Davis double-set #4 trigger. Where it looks to need to be trimmed is at the fore-end. The tabs that are on the trigger guard will hit trigger plate metal if the trigger guard ends up where it appears that it will. The lock has been inlet (not without...

    Trigger inletting question

    Hello, The stock is a pre-carve, with the machined trigger mortise. The trigger plate is quite a lot longer than the opening and it looks like the ends of the plate must be cut so that the trigger-guard can be installed later. My guide book leaves me unsure. If I line up the trigger where it...

    Barrel pinning/barrel removal

    Thanks. I think where I had the problem is that having never seen one up close, I hadn't considered that the hole was through and through :headslap: :headslap: :headslap:

    Barrel pinning/barrel removal

    Hello, I'm confused. :grin: Once the barrel has been pinned and escutcheons inlet and pinned how can the barrel be put in and taken out for cleaning as I have seen written? The ones with the wedges etc... I understand, but once the escutcheons are pinned in place I'm not understanding barrel...
