This new percussion lock will replace the Dixie Tennessee Mountain rifle lock. A new lock bolt is included.
This percussion longrifle is nearly always stocked in cherry, trimmed in iron, marked "JAPAN" on the barrel, made by Miroku, Japan, for Dixie Gun Works. It nearly always has double set triggers, and often has a grease hole bored in the buttstock in lieu of a patchbox.
This lock will not fit the much earlier Dixie Longrifle made in Belgium.
Overall length 4-11/16" x 7/8" width.
Right hand only.
This lock has thicker stronger internal springs and parts than the original lock. It requires deepening the lock mortise slightly, a few minutes of hand work. Complete illustrated instructions are included.
This lock is shown at exact-full-size, in Track's new catalog for gunmakers and gunsmiths.
