Said to be the fastest and most reliable “Siler” flint lock ever made, this right hand flint lock is the latest offering from that ingenious lock maker, Mr. Jim Chambers. He has included every trick in this lock.
Built on a true Siler lock plate, pan and frizzen, it will fit any mortise pre-inlet for the large Siler lock. Other brands require additional fitting.
Nearly every other part has been modified or fine tuned for speed. Notice the slightly taller cock, top jaw and jaw screw, which sweep the frizzen from a higher point with more velocity, for better sparking.
The frizzen is hardened through, for long life. It rides over a cam-action frizzen spring, that is as pretty as it is clever. The thin upper leaf and redesigned cam point allow the frizzen to snap open smartly. No roller is used on this frizzen! A roller is not correct for this period, and recent high speed photo tests indicate that the so-called “frictionless” roller can increase the mainspring’s work load, slow the lock time, and reduce sparking. This fast acting frizzen spring uses an elegant hidden mounting screw, and has fewer parts to fail in the field.
The lock plate is polished bright inside. Fitted with Chambers’ best large Siler internal parts, each part has been tuned for best action. The mainspring has “pre-load” for snappy action. The new tumbler has tiny offset bearings, to reduce friction. The mainspring rides on the tumbler’s redesigned cam-action ramp, giving a smooth release at full cock, with increasing leverage for maximum acceleration.
Fine tuned to provide snappy action and good sparking, the sear is adjusted to give light release, despite the heavy mainspring load. Grey matte finished outside, the plate, cock, top jaw, pan and back surfaces of the frizzen are ready for cold browning or polishing. If you are building a right hand flint longrifle, and searching for the best large Siler flint lock, regardless of price, we offer this candidate.
We recommend that you order a dozen Flint-#ENG-6 English 3/4" gun flints, too.
This lock is shown at exact-full-size, in Track's new catalog for gunmakers and gunsmiths.
