Old Dixie Lock kit ?

[Harms Way]

Hi Guys,....

I built a few authentic style Hawkins rifles back in the 70's, And on those rifles I used a lock kit I bought from Dixie,... It was not drilled, tapped or assembled. But it was a very nice investment cast kit with fairly authentic border and name on the lockplate. Does anybody have one of these kits ? or does anybody still make them ?

They really worked out well for me,... after 34 years, I found "among my souvenirs" almost all the parts to build another Hawkins rifle,... except the lock. And I want to take another go at it.....

Can anybody help me out ?,.... Does anybody remember these lock kits ?..... Help.

Check the web alot of info out there. I may be wrong but I thought Dixie imported most of the stuff they sell. Check Track of the Wolf they sell gun parts.
