[QUOTE="Wobblyshot1, post: 4589366, member: 9066"] GEEEEZ!! I certainly know what you mean! I did some tweaking today. Drilled and tapped for a nipple but had to heat and bend the hammer so it would hit. Also had to clean up the lock mortice and ended up having to bend the sear arm up a little so the set triggers and lock could function. Cut dovetails for the front and rear sights and installed a fixed rear with a U notch and a Lyman 17A front with a pinhead insert. Almost forgot, I tapered and fitted a ram rod too. I'm going to have to shoot it unfinished and I hope to shoot it to at least get it on paper. If I place, it's gonna be like a number 16 seed beating a number 1 seed...LOL. The barrel is a Rice 1 1/8" .45 by 44" long. The lock is a Siler mountain percussion. Trigger is from Rice. Style is somewhat like a Soddy Daisey. I have'nt weighed it but I'm thinkinging it's around 14 pounds [/QUOTE]
