Traditions Kentucky rifle kit build questions

A quick search of “touch-hole alignment” tells me that an imaginary line drawn across the flat top of pan should intersect center of hole. That’s ballpark, as it sounds like there are differing opinions. Do a search and you’ll see what I mean!

Your touch hole looks high and some forward. Given that the breech needs to go back against the wood and down you shouldn't have a problem. Ideally the touch hole should be the sunset position. Centered in the pan and half way along the line of the top of the pan. It doesn't have to be perfect to work. If you get a little low you can always grind the flash pan deeper.

Probably already know this, but you need a touch hole liner.

This will give you an idea of how to file the fore stock down to look right. one question I have is where is the bottom of the barrel in relation to the barrel channel at the breech? would help to see a picture of that area without the lock also would like to see a picture of the breech, If there is a hoe through the breech plug for that lock bolt to go through? Also is the tang straight or slightly bent? The tang should be slightly bent to line up with the wood in that area.

I have it, again this was a dry test fit assembly
