This attractive early English flint lock has a round faced cock and plate, and rounded frizzen and pan surfaces.
Ideal for use on early English or American longrifles and fowlers of the 1730 - 1770 era, it will make a fine Chief’s grade trade gun lock, too.
Sometimes called a “James Barbar” lock, after that famous early London maker. The plate, cock, and other surfaces of original Queen Anne locks were often polished to a bright finish. Apply our "LMF-BROWN Laurel Mountain Forge Brown & Degreaser for a chocolate brown color, or buff this lock’s grey matte exterior surfaces to a bright finish.
Internally similar to L&R’s famous “Jacob Dickert” lock, the plate, cock, top jaw, frizzen, frizzen spring, and external screws are unique. Notice the nice frizzen seating flange which seals the pan, to keep priming dry. The well designed tumbler and sear have raised bearing rings turned around pivot points, for minimum friction. The action is very smooth for an early flint lock!
A fly pivots on an integral stud in the tumbler’s fly mortise, preventing the sear from accidently engaging the half-cock notch when fired. Suitable for use with plain or set triggers. A bit larger than Siler’s large flint lock, it may be fitted to octagon or round barrels, 13/16” to 1-1/4” or larger at the breech.
Cock this lock, and notice that the mainspring rides a special radius cam-action tumbler. This gives the lock a light release, with increasing force through the stroke, due to increasing leverage.
Parts for L&R’s “Queen Anne” flint lock locks are machined, tempered, ready for immediate use. We stock spare parts for immediate shipment.
