Lockplate is approx 5" long.DickS said:How long is the lockplate?
It's approximately 14 gauge, smoothbore.Grumpa said:I'm assuming smoothbore, or is it rifled? Caliber/gauge?
DickS said:That is a pistol sized lock; a musket lock is close to 7". I think that someone used parts that were at hand to make a specialized gun. Look at the interest now-a-days putting M4 carbine stocks of just about any gun.

Odd that the lock has the crown but no ordnance lines :idunno:
