Fowler

Does anyone use large siler locks on Fowlers or fusills

 

[hanshi]

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.

 

[Crow#21957]

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

 

[Comfortably_Numb]

Nope, nobody ever does that.

 

[gpsd55]

no one does that.

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.
