A Request, A Recycled Lock, more pictures added 10/10

Here are three older pictures of a lock. The hammer spring shown here was originally for a rifle.

Notice in previous posts that there is a new hammer spring and is now shaped for pistol finger clearance.
(See below, more pictures added)

The two 8-32 threaded upper holes in the back frame are for the longer flat head screws to mount this action into the stock. Trigger spring is "music wire" and is held in place by that notch/groove in the spring block and the right angle bend where it enters a hole in the trigger. The notches in the hammer are half and full cock notches. The half notch has been moved upward about 1/16 inch to enable the hammer head to be a bit closer to the nipple. Trigger and hammer have been hack sawed out of flat stock and several HF files have been worn out making these locks. This one is the easiest to make and get to work correctly. Note that the trigger pin axle is forward of the trigger sear ledge. This keeps the trigger and hammer locked together.

Also note that (in newer pictures) the action frame has been reshaped (greatly trimmed down) across the top. The rear spring mounting block has been riveted to the back frame piece using nails (about 1/8 inch diameter or so).

Here is another old picture with the side plate screwed down. 8-32 stock mounting screws are in the background.

Other side of the action. Shows the stock mounting holes.
