John Bailes - London, right Percussion Conversion Lock
Fine original flint locks were converted to percussion, during the 1825 to 1880 period. The flash hole was replaced with a powder drum and nipple, which we offer separately. Old time gunsmiths cut away the pan, discarded the frizzen, frizzen spring, and cock. A new hammer was added, and screws were peened over and filed away to fill the old holes in the plate.
This new lock avoids those problems. Simply interchange this percussion conversion John Bailes lock in your flint lock mortise.
Order our #Drum-7-5-F-N and #RST-S stainless 1/4-28 nipple.
This right hand John Bailes cap lock exactly matches our left hand John Bailes cap lock. Each can be made to interchange with our right and left hand John Bailes flint locks.
This lock exactly matches our left hand John Bailespercussion lock.
This lock is shown at exact-full-size, in Track's new catalog for gunmakers and gunsmiths.
