Using non-TC trigger and lock on a Senaca?

[kelljp]

I'm in process of piecing together a Senaca and have been looking for parts. Spoke with one supplier and they suggested a
Davis Deerslayer trigger and an L&R Replacement lock, they said it would
work but it will take some fitting. The lock plate will have to be cut.
Has anyone used these on a Senaca ? If so how much trouble did you have. Or if you know of a better replacement trigger and lock I would appreciate input.

There would be some inletting to do. But I doubt you’d have to trim the lock plate, the L&R RPL lock should fit your lock inlet, but more wood will need to be removed to clear the mainspring and tumbler. The Davis trigger assembly is a nice one, some wood removal may be necessary there too.

Call Suzi at "The Gun Works" in Oregon, she and Joe bought the T/C inventory years ago to see what she has left.

Why not just use a Seneca lock and trigger?

Why not just use a Seneca lock and trigger?

Been looking on flea bay but the prices are $$$. Every Senaca I buy for parts I end up restoring.

Whether on the lock itself or the lock inlet, it's gonna take a heap o' work to make that L&R lock to work on a Seneca. As far as triggers go, the Deerslayers are a good suggestion. But just an FYI, Thompson Center used the exact same triggers on all their double-set trigger models. So Hawken or Renegade triggers will work.
