I have a friend who has a fowler with a large Siler lock. Mine has the Chambers Colonial Virginia flint lock.

mine has Kiblers colonial flint lock. with the geometry of a fowler the smaller locks seem to me look odd. but that is just me.

Same for me. They do look odd on certain stocks. My lock that is coming with my Fusil Dechasse is a LR Queen Anne. Hope it's a good lock

Why would you choose that lock for a FDC?

Hi,
Although not quite right, the large Siler is a better fit for a Fusil de Chasse that the L&R Queen Anne because it at least has a flat lock plate.

Siler locks, being a good design and highly available, have been put to almost every possible use, whether similar in style to what would have been used on that sort of gun, or not.
