Tc hawken

Hello looking for some advice. I am a tool and die maker. Going to build a breech plug for my 45 cal tc . Ordering 15/16 8620 or 1137. My question is should I install the l and r lock first then mark and drill for the touch hole then drill the fire chamber just to the bottom of the touch hole. Thanks

The first thing you need to do is to use the TC lock bolt through the stock into the blind socket on the L&R lock and see where the lock sits, L&R RPL locks are not a drop in. You may have to drop the barrel or move it back to get the L&R lock pan in the right position at a mid-point on the side breech plug flat.

After you get your lock location correct, it sounds like you have a good plan on how to complete the project.
