I finally got the bright idea to stick a thinner rod down the stock hole. I put a 1/8" steel rod down the rod tube and low and behold it went all the way to the breech plug. I couldn't feel anything, so something like a lock pin was probably stopping the rod so someone just cut three inches off the end and said the heck with it.
I'll post a pic of my lock later. But it only has one screw and that is the one that holds the hammer on; well plus the one holding the nipple. there are what looks like two pins at the back, one in the front and another in the top center just in front of the hammer. The only that that is a factor is the front pin. I have no idea how to remove this lock so I'll post that pic for some advice.
