Plate Dimensions: 5-9/16in x 11/16in
This lock is of the same period (1770-1790) and style as the original Siler Flintlock. However, in the 19th Century many flintlocks were converted to percussion ignition. The easiest way to do this was to remove the flint components, cut off the front portion of the pan, enlarge the pan area to accept a drum and nipple and install a percussion hammer. This is exactly what has been done with this lock. The plate and internal parts are interchangeable with the Golden Age Flint Lock. Plate Dimensions: 5-9/16″ x 15/16″ Drum Size: 1/2″ Right Hand only.
