Further to the muzzloading advice.
My first lock inlets were Dixie gun works M/L Shotgun locks. It would be worthwhile to go to somebody like Dixie buy a lock and work out your inleting on something thats not expensive or important. I still have that first muzzleloader built from Dixie parts in high school shop 1964. It's pretty rough, did not think so at the time. You may be better first time than I was.
Not many parts in a simple M/L lock not as hard to take apart and put back together. I always start with the plate and add parts cutting for each as I go.
