Thanks to all who responded. All good suggestions.

I've got one for you experienced builders. I'm trying to build a Pecitonica southern mountain rifle. Well, it's been nothing but trouble, but here's the problem now. The tang of the breach plug broke at the screw hole partly because it is cast iron I suspect and the weakness at this area...

Thanks, Crockett! I think I have the problem solved. The screws are evidently proper for this rifle and it appears they will not interfer with anything. Bob :thumbsup:

Actually I was originally refering to Pecatonica Pennsylvania more as the company who made the kit rather than the exact rifle.

How could I possibly "screw" it up since now I've been "pinned" down :)

Yes I read the procedure and I will try it if I buy this kit. Thanks for the heads-up.

Hey guys, I want to thank all those who have responded about this. I hope I haven't opened a can of worms. I guess I should have described the rifle a little better in the first place. I have since checked for the clearence for the front screw and it seems that it will be O.K. There were a...

The trigger guard that came with the rifle kit I'm working on does not have mounting tangs. is it common to mount them with screws? Seems they may intrude into ram rod channel. The kit is a pecatonica pennsylvania long rifle. The other problem is the inlet that was cut for the trigger plate...

Patch Knife, tks for the advise. I was thinking the same thing, although I do like the design of the Charleville pistol. But this one has a problem with the frizzen fit to the pan and the ram rod supposedly falls out after a while.

No! I'm not familiar with this sight. I've just gotten back into kits again and wanted to do a flint, pirate type pistol and don't have much funds. I'll check it out. Thanks!

I'm trying to decide on whether to purchase the queen anne or the charleville pistol kit. There are issues with both. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
