Installed, a newer cock replacing the older one on a .45 cal T/C Hawken.
This newer cock does not have the hook in it's profile on the left side.
The flint is the same color as the carpet, sorry. This particular flint is quite thin. I'm hoping that it lasts longer with this new part.
Next would be weakening the main coil spring in hopes of lessening the flint bashing of this lock.
The flint is about 1/16 inch away from the frizzen. A thick piece of leather raises the flint up about 3/16 inch. Flint is wrapped with black pigskin.
Underneath shows the flint heighth in relation to the frizzen. Much higher than the older cock. The jaw screw and upper jaw are original and fit.
Old style cock, there is a S-hook in the profile on the left side, just above the screw. Yes, that flint is toast. I compared the two cock sizes and I can only guess that the newer one is about 3/16 inch taller.
Next, fix the loose front sight. Yup, a 4-40 x 1/4 inch long set screw installed into this now really ugly front sight. It won't move now. It still looks the same from the rear.
Who made this barrel?
Green Mountain?
Date?
.45 cal really thin rifling. No safety stampings anywhere.
Circle-M stamping on the bottom of said barrel.
