Doing a restoration job on a plantation house. I am going to replace 6-7 window sashes and was wondering what the preferred jamb liner was. I used the tan basic ones( with springs and L-shaped pins) on another house, but was looking for something that was better and locked the sashes in. Any help would be appreciated

If this is a restoration, I’d think twice about plastic tracks. I know, for instance, that they don’t allow them in the Historic District that I live in.
Check out Resource Conservation Technology. They advertise in FHB.
They make a lot of specialized weatherstripping, including some rout-in styles. I have weatherstripped doors with their stuff, not windows, but they have a catalog online that will show you many windowseal options.
I have their router for T-bulb weatherstripping, and like it a lot. The silicone seals are much better than the vinyl stuff you get in stores.

Should have clarified. Not an accurate restoration. House was built in1818 but windows have been replaced since. Existing jambliners are aluminum. Looking for something that is user friendly. I found the plastic ones a p.i.a.
Still, check out RCT, if only for a good browse.AitchKay
a source for jambliners is newellindustrial.com they have many different styles.
