Yesterday I worked on the Late Lancaster .45 cal flintlock project---the one I'm building using Pecatonica parts. I had had a problem with the double set triggers not working right. It could not go to half or full cock without first setting the back trigger. So I drilled and tapped a hole behind the set trigger and put in a grub screw. It has a hex head, not a slot head, but it won't be noticeable. 6-32 tap. It is flush with the trigger plate and will be obscured by the trigger guard anyway. Now the cock goes to half and full cock positions w/o the set trigger being pulled back. However, the front trigger can't be fired without the rear trigger being set. I can live with that. Also I trimmed excess threads off the lock plate screws and the tang screw. Next step will be either doing the much dreaded "drilling of the touch hole" or inletting the trigger guard. Those will be followed by shortening and shaping the butt to it the butt plate. Those being done I will be greatly relieved.
