I can show you a good inlet and poor lock panels on my first flintlock build from 1979.

Nothing special about this lock inside compared to others.

Hi Rich,
For a first flintlock, you did a nice job on that inlet.  I like the fact that you outlined the bridle and left some shoulder of wood under the main spring.  Hortonstn, keep in mind Rich's mortice is for the old style spring.  If I recall, the new spring will move the mainspring mortice up a little and it will be shorter.

Here's a fowler I built in the last century, using a L & R Durrs Egg lock.
