My Brother Gave Me A Lost Fifteen Year Old Large Siler Lock.

My younger brother who stoped building ML on a semi professional spare time level some years ago was moving his builders tables around and cleaning things up when he moved one of the tables lo and behold there lays a large Siler he thought was misplaced and lost fifteen years ago, I was with him that summer when he bought three of them new at Dixions ML Shop for two different builds he was doing and one of them must have dropped behind his work bench logging inches from the floor. It has a little surface rust but I soaked it for a week in WD-40 all in all It will clean up ok and I will do a Andre Verner long Rifle build out of it, here are some pics.

Good find and an interesting project to finally find a home for that lock.

You are a lucky duck.

Thanks guys, My brothers and I are always there for each other and when he handed it to me and said here it needs a home go build another rifle we both had a good laugh. But he’s going on vacation and I know he’s going to ask me to watch his Dog Pete like I always do, Oh well one hand washes the other so to speak.
