As in making metal fit the wood, not making the wood fit metal.
The L&R rock lock fits the Large Siler inlet internally fairly well, but the plate profiles don't quite match exactly.
I had to grind around the front of the plate slightly, and had to add a good bit of metal around the back to avoid a gap top and bottom. Then recreate the bevel all the way around.
Who's nuts enough to break out the MiG welder on a $200 lock plate? I guess, me.
Success, I now have a switch ignition long rifle.......
