I just bought an L&R Manton flintlock from MBS to, hopefully, build into a Kentucky style pistol with a Douglas barrel that I bought from another member. I received the lock today and while it looks quite nice I don't see any way to attach it to the gun. Normally there are two threaded holes that one runs screws through the stock and into the lock to hold the lock in place. Am I missing something or am I supposed to drill and tap my own holes? This is a smaller sized lock so there isn't much real estate for holes. I've been messing around with muzzleloaders for over 40 years and am suddenly feeling quite ignorant about them.
