Its been a few years since I shot flinch-locks, but I used to enjoy it a lot. Now, older but still no wiser, I'm getting back to it. My rifle is one I built about 30 years ago, using a left-hand Hamm lock. I understand these are no longer being made. Is there a good place to find replacement parts? If I decide to replace the entire lock (Hamm's are pretty small for a rifle) what would you recommend? As I said, been out of the game for 20+years and some of the new names are not familiar.
