all is well with the PB dug out, then the latch fashioned and placed. The hole in that beautiful brass ($$) buttplate went well, the little knob needs final file work and the toeplate needs inletted. maybe today.
the steel PB lid latch lock part is just a nail, filed, cut then placed in the lid, with just a touch of solder. In the olden days, they say they just peened it in, but, I felt it needed the solder to hold it till the next 200yrs~ I will get all this worked in then polish it one last time, then ask the engraver to do some nice work on it....after I get the barrel and ramrod holes laid in on the stock.
This is actually backwards work~ but I kinda like working the stock W/O the heavy barrel...and just may do all my future rifles this way!
