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.

Flintlock Long Guns / understanding locks
« Last post by KDubs on May 08, 2024, 11:04:11 PM » 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

In Fairbanks almost 50 years ago now (my, how time flies!
) one of my neighbors did something similar, but in the middle of the front yard, with the circular driveway going around it, he put in a raised portion on which he proudly exhibited his old push mower. It was hilarious!~Kees~
