More work on the tang and lock

I had to take the breech plug off again to get the exact fit I was looking for. And after a bit of bending I got the breech plug reinstalled on the barrel and put them both back in position and it looks like I'm ready to move on.


I took apart the Lock and I'm beginning to take wood down around it for it's final fit. I still have to drill and tap the plate screw to the other side but I want to get the trigger assembly placed correctly first.


A close up shows the trigger blade in the fire position where it will trip the sear. But things aren't working as expected yet. So I still have some work to do.


Here's a bottom view of the trigger assembly. I'm not sure if I have to inlet it deeper to adjust the trigger or not. More research is needed.
