    Info on builder

    Have acquired a very nice Southern Mountain percussion, top flat signed "Dorsey Dick 1996" and "#44" on the side flat. Seller thought Dick was a North Carolina builder, but wasn't sure. Beautiful rifle, excellent craftsmanship...would like more information on the builder if possible. Thanks!

    Trigger question

    Top of the morning, gentlemen... Having built a few trade guns, I'm now into a flint rifle...first time I've inletted a double-set trigger. My question: in a perfect world, at what point on the trigger bar (bar that snaps up when the trigger's pulled) should the lock's hammer release bar hit...
