BP virgin here

[mickman15]

Hello all, my name is Dan and I live in central Iowa.I'm totally new to muzzleloading, never even fired one (can't wait to)I am building a Traditions Kentucky rifle .50 cal. I joined this forum so I may get some advice and direction on how to proceed. Last night I was trying to get the trigger guard into it's slot and learned a valuable lesson DONT FORCE IT lol. There are a few questions I have, but I'll wait till later. I have been married to my wonderful wife for 12 years this Feb and we have 3 sons ages 4,2 and 4 months. I'm hoping to get handy building rifles so I can build each of our children a rifle as an heirloom hunting rifle. I should mention, I think my fascination with BP rifles started at a very young age because (strangely)I was a Civil War freak from the ages of 7 to about 15. I'll see ya around.

One of the holes in my lock is actually right behind the hammer, no matter what position it is in,do I need to redrill a new hole?

Nevermind about the hammer question, I finally had my first AHA! moment and found a lot of confidence in my ability to get this rifle done and looking good!
