Southern Mtn/NC barrel pin placement

[khwils]

Hi, I am using 4 pins and 3 RR pipes. I have the front pin marked approx 3" from the front of the forearm. But I am unsure of where the rear pin should go. I know it should go in the middle of the rear forearm but should I measure from the front of the lock to the rear entry pipe or from the breech to the rear entry pipe? Thanks again, Kurt/IL

Kurt,
:imo: :m2c: You will have a front barrel pin and a pin for your front thimble up toward the muzzle. They will probably be..maybe 2inches apart. Place your rear barrel pin about 2 inches behind my entry pipe pin. Center your middle thimble between the front thimble and entry pipe and if you are using 4 pins, place them center between that. Lay it all out with pencil and see if ya like it? :results:
Hope that helps some.

Oh, If you are looking for a picture. Go to Track of the Wolf's site and look under percussion kits. They have an antique gun as an example there. I believe it has 3 tang screws?
