Awhile back I was lucky enough to buy 2 brand new good quality flintlocks from someone on here.
Just checking to see if someone might have any flint "locks" in their plunder that they some how accumulated and dont want, and might sell them.
I dont want old antique locks, but new made replicas for projects I am starting to put together.
Please respond to my e-mail longhunter@digitalrazor.net.
Thanks

I replied to your post by email with pictures of two flintlocks I have for sale + a Bill Large 50 cal barrel but never heard back from you. I was just wondering if you received my reply or your just not interested.

Sir,
My comp was giving me trouble.
I just got to see them.
I am not interested in the Hawken style lock.
The other is the type I am interested but to be honest, from what I can see in the photo, there is a hole in the hammer as well as a previous mounting screw hole, and some other damage, the $100 is a little high, especially for a kit lock.
Allot of kit locks are not quite right and dont function as they should.
Just too much to take a chance on for $100.00 I could deal with the damage, but if it is not assembled perfectly, there is just no fixing it.
I hope you understand? I am not trying to be critical, but honest. The lock is the most important part of a flintlock, and it has to be perfect.
All that said, I would gamble on it for $50.00, and if that's not enough, I certainly undersatnd.
Best of all wishes to you, Pray for our Nation.
Thanks
