I've got a Frontier from the mid 80's too, like I said in another post, never fails to put a smile on my face every time I take it out for a shoot.
L&R makes a high quality replacment lock, I put one on my .50 Kentucky.
L&R lock is better. Probably much better. :thumbsup:
S.kenton said:Zonie is right..the problem normally isn't with the guns..it's with the previous owners who didn't clean them properly from the beginning. I have a CVA kentucky 45 cal. I LOVE that rifle. It's light, accurate and reliable as the day is long. I purchased the above mentioned rifle about 10 yrs ago froma fellow who knew the front stuffers very well..and kept her nice, clean and rust free for me. I've had three CVAs in the past.. all of which were good rifles. The only Issue I ever had with any of mine ( all percussions by the way) was the locks, they seemed to gum up and not work properly after a few months of setting around. I had to work the lock a few times from firing to position to half cock ( safety) and then all the way down to the nipple. If i didn't do that..the lock wouldn't catch. I had a Traditions Penn. rifle did the same thing.. weird eh?
a little inlet work as the main spring is wider than the factory one.

older one's for sale on the net pretty regularly & was wondering about their quality. Thanks
