Eric Krewson:
Here you go, I found one, I have done business with these folk, good people, turns out they bought out all the TC parts long ago.

Mesophilic:
Awesome!  Going to call them right now.

Eric Krewson:
L&R RPL lock swap, they lied to you.

Move the barrel back, cut off the ramrod under rib a little, drill a new lock bolt hole, a blind hole to perfectly hit the lock bolt fixture on the L&R lock bridal, grind off the back of the breech so the new bolt location can clear it, completely inlet the lock mortise for the flintlock internals and most of all send the L&R lock back twice to fix major flaws.

I could have done a sloppy job much easier but I wanted the touch hole at the perfect sunset centered position in relation to the pan and a minimum amount of shims glued in to fill any gaps. I did have to shim a gap at the tail of the lock, you can see it in the finished picture.

Mesophilic:
WelI called The Gun Works and they had the hammer I needed so thankfully I won't have to do any modifications.

I asked if they had the hammers that superseded the broken version, and they did.  Also said they have the original style that breaks if I wanted to break another one  ;D. I like a company with a sense of humor.

PaulN/KS:
The Gun Works are Great to deal with.  :OK
Bought more than a few things from them over the years. Glad they are still in business.  :)
