Earlier today I bought a box of gun parts. These were included and I don't know what they are. There were muzzleloader parts and some breechloader parts mixed together, and I tried to call out the unmentionables, leaving ones I was unsure about. So, these may not be m.l. parts. Can anyone identify them? Thanks.
 
The two oval shapes in the center of the top pic are top jaws of a flintlock hammer, one is complete with hole drilled, the other unfinished. Nothing else in that picture seems muzzleloader related. The second picture has a couple of firing pins and several barrel band springs for unmentionable military rifles; again nothing muzzle loader related. Just my .02, YMMV.

Thanks, I should have recognized them. They have been moved to my zip-lock bag with flintlock parts.
 
Isn’t that round thing on the right, in the first pic, an internal piece for a lock? You have to excuse the fact that I can’t call it by name.
 
The spring and rod in picture 2 looks like it is a mainspring from a T/C lock. Right below the spring is a firing pin and extractor from a modern rifle.
Thanks to you. I have two or three T/C guns and will pull the lock from one and check it out.
 
The object in the first photo with the vertical slot is the ram from a cap & ball revolver loading lever. In the second photo you have some barrel band springs (top one is broken) for military muskets and not necessarily for unmentionable guns.

Could be I suppose. None of the pile of locks I got today, or any lock that I have seen before have a piece exactly like it. But I have not seen the inside/backside of as many locks as some on here I'm sure.
