These are basically an improvement and simplification of the snaphaunce lock. The frizzen now has the pan cover made onto the bottom of it and the sear is simplier. Many snaphaunces were modified to this type of lock as they were sent in for repairs. In general these became a common lock by about 1650, there have been quite a few turn up in archeological sites and in collections all over America. The fantail stocks on these early guns actually hold better than most modern stocks. The Following is a list of links to the English Locks we offer parts for. |

We stock many items, but each item is custom cast or made by us to the exact specifications of the originals parts, we have copied. Due to the investment casting process which we use there are sometimes delays due to this process which in turn requires patience from our customers, the average delivery time on our parts is between 60 and 90 days, if the parts you order are not in stock. We assure you that the quality of our parts is well worth any wait, as many of the items we make have never been offered by anyone before. If you are serious about the authenticity of your weapon then the time will be a small price to pay. Many of the pictures shown on this web site are of original pieces. We do not sell any original pieces on this web site only reproduction's of the original parts we have copied. If the item description does not say assembled then you are buying the castings of that particular item.
