if the new sear can be made, someone put in a poorly fitted replacement that keeps the left lock from cocking correctly, also a 14

Timing of your original post was perfect, it will be ready this week, stopped by to check on it tonight, he needed to do just a little fine tuning on the half cock notch and fly fit.

I liked it when I found it, cased, most of the accessories, the leather for the shot bag was gone, but the brass measuring end was there and I found a nice original shot snake with an Irish tip anyway. The case also had a powder flask, a turn screw, a nipple wrench along what seems to be the original rod all in there.

Surprising modern dimensions on very solid wood that cleaned up nicely. I have had a scope down the bores and they are good, frosted, very little pitting and 45 to 50 thousands in the walls.

I have a pair of SxS caplocks . Ones a W Richards 12 gauge or so and the others is what appears to be a 10 gauge and I do not remmember the name on that one , nobody major I'm sure . It is however in very very nice shape .

My old shooting buddy who passed a month or two ago was having Al Edge build him a double barrel flinter 12 gauge or there abouts . Had Ed Rayl barrels and I forgot who made the locks . Anyway he didn't live long enough to see it finished . He really wanted to shoot a few rounds of skeet with the gun !
