TRAPDOOR SPRINGFIELD and CIVIL WAR MUSKET Lockplates are VERY HARD TO FIND. Here is an old 1920s reproduction blank undrilled TRAPDOOR 45-70 LOCKPLATE, made 1920s by the famous W. Stokes Kirk, of Phila, in business 1876-1974, selling Civil War, Indian Wars, + Span-Am War surplus. In the 1920s lockplates were drying up, so WSK + Co, made up repros so they could continue to sell Trapdoor 45-70s + .58 Muskets. The larger one was for converting cut-down Model 1842 muskets to Trapdoor carbines. The smaller ones were for Model 1873 + 1884 Trapdoor 45-70s. They are an exact "drop in" fit for ANY original Trapdoors. Also exact fit for Civil War 1861-1865 .58 muskets, but are THINNER. Will still work on Civil War muskets, if you use a Trapdoor 45-70 tumbler, which is identical to the musket tumbler, but a little shorter shank for the thinner 45- 70 lockplate. This lockplate is completely BLANK, with NO HOLES OR MARKINGS. With it comes a hand-printed one-side single sheet instruction paper on how to make a good working 45-70, 50-70, or .58 musket lockplate from it with full details + drawings with all holes positioned correctly, thread sizes, mainspring stud placement, + how to make good substitutions, EVERYTHING YOU NEED to complete it ready for installation of parts. Only a drill + tap. NO heating or machining. This informative Lockplate Paper itself is nearly worth the price. NOTE - As a service, to save you money, if you can get one of these blank lockplates made up today for less money, I can offer just the LOCKPLATE PAPER as described for 2.95 + .99 S+H. Bid 19.99 BUYITNOW on this auction, but send only 2.95 + .99 S+H..... If your Trapdoor or Musket is missing the lock, here is a rare outstanding opportunity to get the hardest part to find. Some substituting can be done for the hammer + internal parts. If just re- lockplating a wall-hanger, just drill one hole to bolt a likely looking hammer to it. Will look fine from a distance. Don`t really need all those internal lock parts that nobody is going to see. I got this from W. Stokes Kirk nearly 40 years ago.
