Thanks Everyone ! I didn't keep the ole lock plate because it didn't appear to be fixable. The break had that white powdery look to it so I just figured it was cast and couldn't be fixed. So it looks like the L&R replacement is the way to go. The locks look really well made . I just cant...

Anyone ever replace the lock on a Traditions Shenandoah rifle? The pan broke from the lock plate and they want $170 for a new lock! Still waiting for prices on just the lock plate and screws. The rifle has a good barrel .Its actually pretty accurate.Its only a back up to my Pedersoli Mortimer...

Hi All, I have a Pedersoli Mortimer Rifle in 54 caliber that I have been hunting with and shooting for a few years now...and love it. Im just curious about the history of the rifle they are trying to reproduce. All that Pedersoli says about the rifle is that it is English. No time period or...

I just pulled this info off of a leather industry website: Ounce- A measure of thickness. One ounce =1/64 inch. One square foot of 4 ounce leather(1/16 inch thick) should weigh 4 ounces. Rick

Thanks Guys, Thats a nice looking bag!Im not sure how to gauge the thickness of leather.I do have a micrometer that I use for reloading but I dont think leather is measured in mils is it? I just measured with the mic. and it seems to average between .045 and .05 inches ? Dont know if that...
