Hey Phil,

Here's a picture of my unfinished pistol project.  It's not percussion and I changed the tail a bit, but the internals should be the same.  Hope this helps.

What is the reason for the little screw at the end of the lock plate??

Hi Bob,

What appears to be a screw slot is actually, ooops, a hole thru the plate.  I filed the tail of the lock to make it level with the surrounding wood, but I didn't account for the depth of the notch for the sear spring on the inside of the plate.  I haven't decided whether to have it welded up, or just leave it.  It does make folks wonder. ;)
