Fitting an L&R lock to a Renegade

<< < (3/3)

chamookman:
Always enjoy Your work Eric ! Thanks - Bob.

Eric Krewson:
I sent the lock back to L&R for a fix. The tumbler shaft was too long and held the hammer too far off the lock plate. There is a flat place on the back of the hammer that is supposed to stop the hammer travel when it impacts the top of the lock plate. On my lock the "hammer stop" was only hitting the top corner of the lock plate and deforming the metal.

This is the second lock of this project that I sent back to L&R, the first had a casting flaw in the lock plate, the second have an tumbler flaw. L&R's customer service is great, they fix what ever needs to be fixed without question. The way I see it these flawed locks should have never been sent out in the first place, good customer service, lousy quality control.

PaulN/KS:
As always you have done a fine job fixing up that TC. Nothing like an oil finish on a nice walnut stock eh..
Bummer that the L+R locks have gotten so poor. I still have one that I bought for a Traditions and it is a good sparker and functions just fine.
