Do you have a Dzeferdar rifle?

I have an Albanian pistol I shoot using the same lock. I found it well designed, strong, and very reliable. It would seem the owners of these guns back in the Period had the same results. Because you see them on so many guns.
Here is the same lock from my collection. It is in unused condition. I'll bet the lock on Kubur's gun looks almost identical. Interesting such a wide usage of the same lock.

Rick, having pictures of the different types of locks is very helpful.
