You could use a 1/4"x32 but the 5/16" is likely just fine.
Looks like a nice project. That stock is V nice. 8)

 I got the lock  polished in and tried it with the double set triggers .
I then Tried to pull the breach plug , no luck Kroil oil soak over night/or few days.
 
 It seams the touch hole will be very close to breach plug ( I might have to move barrel back 3/16-1/4, inch  I really don't want to) or might notch the plug  ( I have another rifle like that and Greg Dixon said his dad use to build like that)
that's all today, basement build , my garage unheated &  way to cold


near as I can see the getz inscibed number
