    I called the wizards at the machine shop and we are going the dovetail route. I'll see then Tuesday morning before work and sketch the job out. Thanks again for all of the advice.

    Drilling a Barrel For Fasteners

    Thanks. The posts here scared me enough to take the dove tail route.I have heard about the wet rag trick when talking to guys doing body work. I want to choose my battles and I think this might take me into the "advanced topics category". I understand dovetails. Really appreciate the help and...

    Drilling a Barrel For Fasteners

    Thanks for all of the good advice. You all have given me something to think about. The gun is not a full stock. The lock came from Deer Creek and is a casting that looks like a piece of pipe. A similar one was posted here.

I am looking for utility and not necessarily a gun that is true to history. It is an underhammer 45 cal using a Green Mountain 1/18 twist 35 inch 1 1/4...

    Underhammer nipple location

    You need to fit things up since the hammers could be different lengths. Did you buy the lock from Deer Creek? If so I can measure mine and let you know. At any rate, just dry fit the pieces together and allow for the swing of the hammer. First time I did it I was off a bit because I did not...
