Russ, I fear that you are correct so I will just have to get out my own original iron mounted Rev.War Southern early Virginia squirrel rifle with the peanut hull patch box and dog catch that was converted to a percussion gun just in time for the battle of New Orleans. Unfortunately they were in a rush so they didn't have time to file a half cock notch and barely had time to make a dog catch for the percussion hammer.It's a fine old gun but those Tennessee River pearls that were in the patch box and which were used as bullets when the gun was used for hawg killing sure did bang up the lid of the box.

Tom, i do understand what you are saying about the term Doglock. I used it only as a description of the gun i was interested in since that is what it is refered to in the ad. Thank you for you input and info.

Hey rebel, thanks for the kind words and I just couldn't resist the tongue in cheek response.I wondered if anyone would translate it. I wasn't trying to gig anyone in particular but rather to keep folks on their toes.I did have a post on this board under Rev.War on suitable fowler where I discussed the new English musket by Early Rustic Arms which looked good and was fairly lightweight and American made in Kentucky and not Pakistan or wherever.

,Tom I'll have to look up that post and see what you wrote. You seem to have a pretty thorough knowledge of the early arms. Nice to have people with some knowledge to ask questions of. Take care.
