Yes. Lengthwise. Canted up or down or left or right.
I guess it really depends on the lock plate geometry and not hitting the ram rod channel.
I need to dig through my books again.
I saw something in a publication that talked about slightly angling one of the lock screws but can't 1!QAzxsw2@ it. Any thoughts?
Front or rear? Angle front to rear, top to rear or both?
I read somewhere that one of the lock plate bolts should be slightly angled. I can't find the reference. Should it be north-south or east-west or slightly both? Which one?
I was wondering if anyone had any insight into the origins and time frame for this flintlock pistol. I was told that it was probably German / Austrian. There are no markings anywhere. The lock is bridleless and it is a smoothbore.
