Title: Looking forward to fall turkey!
Post by: RedOneFive on May 29, 2024, 11:04:26 AM
Recently aquired a nice trade gun. I'm looking forward to chasing some turkeys this fall... Maybe harassing some rabbits out at the ranch as well. Something that I have wanted to do for a long while.  I need to work on some loads this summer.

I think I've seen that NWTG before,.... it looks like the one Ohio Joe bought from me some years ago at rendezvous.   :)  :hairy  :*:

I believe it is that one. And you had another that was shorter and only 54or 58 percussion as well at the time.. Marty snagged this one and I sat the fence on the other..
Ive got to source a new sear spring for this Lott lock yet, but I'll find it eventually!

Joe,.... do any of the sear springs in this link look familiar to what you have?

One looks pretty close..
I found a small baggie with a few that I think Marty had made by cutting banding strap and bending them, but I need to buy or make some that will last..
