Parts haul from the flea market

[tom in nc]

I bought this lot of parts at the flea market today. The pair of locks shown will complete the double barreled shotgun I have.

Included are some complete locks, some missing springs, and a bunch of parts.
Also included are several flints. Will be posting more pics as I sort thru it

That's a good haul! I'm always on the lookout for good back action locks.

Wow! Our flea markets only have used clothes and Chinese junk

Yeah, buying a box of assorted parts, I was surprised to find as many back action locks, eight singles and three pairs, including the ones for my shotgun, and eight other locks, or parts thereof.

I was just going to say that, mostly baby clothes and plastic junk from China.

I've had pretty good luck at this flea market. In the past I found a deal in a T/C Hawken in ,45 caliber, an old original .40 caliber (I think) rifle (probably a wallhanger, don't know yet), and a 12 ga double muzzleloader. I paid $15 each for the .40 and the shotgun. Also bought an unopened .45 caliber halfstock percussion rifle kit for $60 (I think). Plus several air guns over the years.
The $15 dollar double barrel will get two of the locks I got today.
