Do you by chance remember which L&R spring you used? I need to do this to my Cherry Corners lock.
It was the spring from the Late English percussion lock. I did have to drill a new hole for the locating pin
Thank you, I figured the spring pin would be different. Much appreciated!
that's a beauty
Nice collection, Rudyard !
Dear Smooth shooter .Thankyou, the 490 on that river trip fed on swaged TC Maxis so no possible fire risk & I did once use it muzzle down to probe to find a footing in a surging narrow creak .(needs must at times in big country )When I think of the snakes ,Wolverines, Mountain lions, Amourus Moose ,Bears varius coupled with hairy river & Slough crossings and glacial run off colder than ice. The ghosts of Waddingtons road crew seemed trifling on the scale of things . Didn't see any Sausquash but be a good place theyed like !nobody else in there. If Camdo logging based at Cumsac Creek might have got up towards Waddington Canyon by now . I went though twice but the other rifle was a 451 military match I made . Much as such are despoilers they where good to' set on 'get some fat back on & make a few $ & clean up until the snow stopped operations & the whole crew got float planed out . My most fun job was' Boom mans offsider' with cauked boots I ballanced on floating logs or 'Boom sticks' while I got them under a jig that bored a hole to attach a chain link to form a floating fence for truck loads to be dropped in to make a big raft. Then by full moon high tide we towed the lot to the head of Butte inlet & chained them to a big raft .Thats 50 odd years ago my how time fly's, But my memories are still vivid My last trip round Mt Waddington was by the Klina Klini river from the settlement of that name to the Knight Inlet I took an old16 bore ML shotgun ball in the left & small shot in the right barrel that was a 16 or so day passage to Hoodoo creek in full spate & came very close to ending my travels for good .That stuck in my memory very well .
