Ketland style import lock from the 1800-1810 time frame.

Works well for pistols, or any post-1800 longrifles.

 Flint Size - 3/4" by 7/8" 

These locks are different than all other modern production locks.  Instead of using investment castings all critical parts are machined.  This results in a product that is far more precise and repeatable when compared to current available locks.  I would estimate the tolerances with machining are an order of magnitude (10X) better than that available with investment casting. 

In addition, we have spent a tremendous amount of time developing a historically correct and stylistically beautiful lock that functions impeccably.  I must give credit to Frank House for offering critique and suggestions during this process.  Having someone to work with during this process proved invaluable. 

So what does extremely fine tolerances and great design result in?  A lock that functions extremely smooth, free from many problems associated with current production locks and one that performs the required task very well.  The function of each lock is nearly indistinguishable to the next lock.  We’re obsessed with details and the results show.

To summarize, our goal is to provide locks with impeccable, design, construction and function at an affordable price.  This has proven to be incredibly difficult, but it is our commitment to all of you.

Specifications:

  • Fully machined components: Lock plate, tumbler, sear, bridle, sear spring, mainspring, frizzen spring.
  • Investment castings used: Frizzen, cock and top jaw.  Note, all critical surfaces of the frizzen are machined or surface ground ( bottom of pan cover, sides of frizzen foot and frizzen pivot hole and toe of frizzen).  This ensures precise repeatable function.
  • Completely interchangeable parts.
  • Typical machined tolerances are in the range of +- .001” while critical locations such as pivots are held tighter.
  • Frizzens are 1095 steel with a surface carbon boost heat treatment to insure great function.
  • Springs designed for optimum performance and manufacturing process guarantees a high degree of consistency.
  • Bridle located with pins rather than screws for strength and precision.

Kibler Ketland Flintlock

I love these little locks. I teach Kibler rifle building classes and it’s always a treat to watch students fire their Southern Mountain Rifles on the last day. They’ve heard the myth that “flintlocks are slower than caplocks” and are amazed just how fast their rifles fire when they trip the trigger the first time! Good geometry ensures that sparks are directed right into the center of the pan, resulting in quick ignition. The “bevel up” design also lets the flint scrape most of the frizzen face, making those showers of sparks possible.

I’m glad we can get Kibler Ketland locks individually now. I’m looking forward to incorporating them into guns I build from a blank from now on. Knowing that all the Kibler locks that go out are built in Jim and Katherine’s shop alone instills confidence that you will be getting a quality lock right out of the gate every time. Look no further if you need a later style flintlock for your builds!

I bought Kibler’s Ketland flintlock to put on a slim .38 caliber Appalachian rifle. I haven’t quite finished building the rifle but I’m confident ignition will be excellent. The lock throws sizzling sparks most of which fall into the pan and it’s fast. The fit and finish of the internals is perfection. I especially like that the sear pivots on a bushing and the screw can be drawn down snugly w/o binding the sear. Thanks for a great lock.
