Fitting an L&R lock to a Renegade

<< < (2/3) > >>

Eric Krewson:
Down to just a few things left; I spent a lot of time working on what was once a really rough, dinged up stock, it came out really nice. As you can see I defined the lock and side panels to give the stock some bling from the plain, out of the factory version. I have two coats of Chambers antique oil finish on the stock so far and will probably put 5 or 6 on before I am done.



I have been rebluing little parts and getting the lock apart so I can polish the external parts, a long and laborious process.

Eric Krewson:
I suspect most of the replacement locks used for this type of project are left with the factory finish, they look much better polished. I probably have 4 hours in the lock plate, first you file out most of the craters, then you sand out the file marks, it takes hours. The hammer is particularly difficult because it has so many flat and curved surfaces, I only have the lower part done.. The frizzen is hardened to the point it can't be filed and can only sanded to a satin finish, another long project.

Eric Krewson:
DONE!



I even made the lock fit;

Stoker:
Good looking pole.. Well done
Thanks Leroy

loon:
