Hi Dennis,

Welcome to ALR.  Here's a picture of that area on my rifle.  Hope this helps.

So I guess I have to keep removing a little wood until the pan seats flush against barrel ?
I guess there is no other way , I'm just worried about removing to much wood.
I guess I'm going at it ok.......D :(

yes, definitely seat the lock against the barrel. otherwise fowling or unburned powder will enter the lock internals. fowling in there just causes lock problems. unburned powder can actualy blow the lock off. not a good thing.    mark
