Slowly but surely, I am making some small progress on the Deringer inspired trade rifle. Got the barrel inlet cleaned up, and working on inletting the breech plug and tang. This is the part of gun building I don't really care for, as any small mistake is visible.

I also have the lock disassembled to clean, polish and inlet into the stock piece by piece.

Neither can I, ha! A lot of hours of work between now and then.

What lock might that be? I see advanced late flintlock features like waterproof pan and double throated hammer. Looks appropriate for a Deringer trade rifle.
