understanding locks
KDubs:
So I have researched a bit and I am trying to understand what is meant by a round face vs a flat face vs a ketland etc lock.
what is the face on a lock . what makes it flat,square or round.
I see plenty of pics of these locks but I can't tell what's what !
how do I tell these locks apart or know what I'm looking at.
Hope this makes sense.
thanks kevin
BEAVERMAN:
Flat face is like a TC or Lyman, round face is like your Kibler or what you see on a Bess, Ketland I still haven't figured out
KDubs:
Ok but what is referred to as the face.
Is it the lock plate, the jaws of the cock.
I think that's where my confusion lay.
Thanks beav for the info so far.
Kevin
rollingb:
Lock plate. :)
KDubs:
10 4.
After looking at more locks that was what I figured.
