sorry for stupid question but I could never figure out the purpose of this crew in my TC Flintlock

It is a base and or a sight mounting hole. The item that looks like a screw is just a threaded plug they put in every unused accessory hole in every barrel they sold for cosmetics. Many of us on here are TC nuts, both black powder and the stuff we're not allowed to talk about in these hallowed halls.Although we can't see the gap between the screw I question in the OP's original post, I suspect that the distance between that screw and the rear sight screws is pretty large. Indicating that the screw he pointed out isn't a scope base screw.
There is a link to one in an above post from another member and I mentioned the Gorilla optic mounting system. I can take pics of any number of mine if you like.I get that it’s a plug and not an actual screw for a scope base. But, I’m having a hard time picturing a base 10 or 12 inches long to span the gap from that hole, to the holes under the rear site base.
Anybody got a measurement on that distance, or a photo? Better yet, one of those scope bases.
Not sure what your concern is, but you’re looking at 8”-9” between the rear hole and the sight holes on a TC Firestorm barrel. You can now purchase one with confidence, or if not purchasing, maybe you will sleep better.I’m having a hard time picturing a base 10 or 12 inches long to span the gap from that hole, to the holes under the rear site base.
