    Flint Leather, Side Fit

    The flint doesn’t need to touch the screw, but cutting “teeth“ in the jaws helps with flint retention if that is your problem.

    Can powder brand be responsible for this much difference?

    Hotter powder has less barrel time, therefore shoots lower. Same thing happens with a lighter bullet in a cartridge gun.

    sharon swamped barrel quality?

    Green Mountain does not.

    Remember this Davy Crockett movie scene?

    That scene is documented in “Davy Crocket’s Almanac”. Davy explains how he did it. Disney used the almanac for inspiration in several scenes.

    Seems that some equate cost for quality. If it costs more it is worth more. Not Everyone agrees.

    And it begins...

    Front of side plate is left long on purpose. Cut to fit after the lock is installed.

    Stuck Ramrod

    Sounds like your ramrod is too big for the hole. Sand down the back end a bit.

    Sidelock hammer screw.

    If you don’t take the hammer off then why are you messing with the screw?

    Wood grain

    I can overlook a few tool marks in the wood, but casting marks on the metal…never

    Hard cast, wide flat nose bullets?

    Early shooters used a composite bullet; hard on the front and soft on the rear. Each part was molded separately and then swaged together. That may be the solution.
