	Is there anyone out there that has matched tumblers for back action locks? I have looked everywhere and cannot find them. Tried all the black powder parts suppliers I can think of. I would gladly pay someone an reasonable amount to make me some. I have had this gun for 15 years. I know there are some somewhere I just can't find them. Any ideas or smiths come to mind? I am desperate....... JMH

	Might help if you could provide a couple pictures,, and would tell everybody here who produced the particular lock and gun your referring to.

	Dixie Gun Works has some parts for back action locks. Peabody does use a back action lock. If you could post pics and tell us the make of your rifle that would help a lot. Frank

	A long time ago I filed a tumbler out of a grade 8 bolt for a back action lock. I had a gunsmith turn out the round blank and I filed it out from there. JS

	Track of the Wolf sold L&H locks and they made left and right back action locks. TOW also had parts for them. Hth ld1

	Custom tumblers can be made, but are very time consuming. Expect to pay dearly if you have them made. Chuck

	My Axtell 1877 Sharps has a back action lock and that model is now made by both Shiloh Sharps and C Sharps. Might give them a shout for parts.

	I can copy yours but it is a costly process. I just purchased a 3d laser scanner. Neat stuff but still very labor intensive.

	I've used a laser edge finder + DRO to trace the outline of parts. Tedious but cheap unless you have to hire it done. It will get you within filing distance. HTH
