I have a flint lock that I am trying to get some repair parts for . I need a trigger plate because the one on my rifle was drilled wrong -it came out on the edge of the plate and the tang screw hole was drilled twice and the intersect each other, Also looking for some good fints to fit the rifle which is a 45 caliber. any help would be great. mudd turtle.

Just make a new one. I make all of my trigger plates.

Mike. When positioning the trigger plate, is there a best position for it to contact the lock sear.

I hang all my triggers in the wood. My trigger plates are nothing more than somewhere to screw the tang bolt into.

Mike. sorry-didnt explain myself very well there. When hanging the trigger in the wood, where is the best place for the trigger plate to touch the lock ie closer to the trigger pin or as far back as poss or in the middle. Or put another way how do I determin where to drill the trigger pin please. Thanks JM

Probably 3/8" ahead of the sear bar and as high as you can get it.

Mike. Just to confirm, the sear sits on the trigger 3/8th from the back of the trigger. Thanks again
