During the percussion era locks of this type were widely available and were used in an equally wide variety of rifles. Mountain, Southern, Trade, Ohio and Indian Rif1es would all have been made with this lock. Almost any rifle dating from the late 1830′s through the end of the nineteenth century could have been made with style of lock.
