Is this the same Roundball as the guy from MLF? If it is thanks for the advive you have given on that site. You just made me go check the tang because on my other rifles one of the screws goes through the trigger assembly or that is the only screw. That leaves me with the delema you mentioned and I will curtail removal unless I actually detect rust.

On a side note I looked for real flint for the thing today and didn't find any so I guess it will be the internet to the rescue. I have two more shops to check out that are closed on Sundays but if they don't carry it it looks like DGW or The Gun Works will need to be called.
