This is where the Track of the Wolf catalog (or at least the downloaded version). Look at the locks listed in the catalog. There should be one for your Centermark smooth bore. Print that catalog page out. It will be a full size image on the print out.

Here's the first 10 locks.

My Centermark has a Davis lock. Is Davis still in business? If they are could you contact them directly.

Well I just looked them up, they are in business but their French fusil lock is ‘on hold‘, but maybe they could give you a time line.

If it is a Davis lock that RC has on his Centermark Fusil, it would be worth the call to Davis to see if they have parts or if servicing of the lock is available.

What is the problem with your lock?

Someone at Track of The Wolf told me Centermark used Davis locks on their guns. Maybe Track has parts?

I rely miss the fact that they don't publish a catalogue in book form any more! it was a lot easier to look things up and compare when holding your weapon next to the page than a computer screen,

All those locks on Davis's website that say "on hold" were made of castings from Pete Allen. Pete's foundry has been shutdown for years now and uncertain if it will ever get back in production. I doubt anybody will have parts for the Davis French fusil lock.

Contact Larry Zornes at Mold and Gun Shop (740) 286-3473 or Liza Kindig at Log Cabin Shop. There are spares for the Allen French Lock used on the Centermark guns. They will help him.

Thanks All! he ordered a lock from track that according to pics looks right we'll see when it gets here! Colonial by RE Davis thanks!!

FYI, Davis has plenty of lock parts for the Allen/Davis French lock. Mainspring supply is pretty much exhausted. A good supply of frizzens , internals, etc.
Just putting it out there.

If it isn't sparking well and it's breaking flints, and the frizzen has been properly hardened, it may be a problem with the springs not being correctly balanced. It might be something else entirely.

i would recommend contacting Brad Emig at Cabin Creek Muzzleloading. He advertises his services as "the Lock Doctor." I had an L&R Queen Anne lock on a Jackie Brown fowler and Pedersoli Charleville with the factory lock, both with the same problem you describe... Poor sparking and they would eat flints. I sent them to Brad and the difference was like night and day. Both are excellent locks now.
