The original Siler lock is a copy of the Germanic style, hand-forged locks used by gunmakers in the mid-to-late 18th century. This style of lock is commonly found on 1770 to 1790 period rifles made by well-known makers such as Jacob Dickert, Isaac Haines, J.P. Beck, and many others. These locks are also available with a brass (bronze) plate and pan.

As precision ignition came into use, many original flintlocks were converted to this new system. The original lock plate was retained, but the flint hammer, frizzen, and frizzen spring were replaced by a percussion hammer, drum, and nipple. This lock is interchangeable with the above flintlock for those who want an early rifle with the percussion system or a rifle with interchangeable systems. Also available with a brass (bronze) plate.
