Wtb: Lock or Lock catch for Mills Vest Pocket

Postby rilaw » Sun Dec 20, 2015 9:36 am

I finally got my first mechanical slot, a little guy... Anyway, don't like the way the lock catches, the door is not closed tight and until I bent the catch a little you could just pull the rear door right off while locked. I know the original lock is $$$, which I have no interest in spending. So... I either need a whole lock, or some direction on where to find a catch plate part that works better at securing the door.

Thank You

Thanks, I know that. Thats why I said I'm not looking for an original, just need direction to get something that actually locks the door tight without spending stupid money on an original lock.

Thanks

So no one knows where to buy an aftermarket lock for a VP? Only one I saw was one on ebay, was hoping for better options.

I got one from Dave at Mrslot1@aol.com. It was a repop, but it worked fine for my situation.
