JimD Posted August 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 28, 2017 I was not paying attention when I dis-assembled an 1863 Springfield musket and now have two side plate screws to put back: one is slightly longer than the other. Does the longer one go toward the front of the side plate or to the rear (the front meaning closer to the muzzle)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarbridge Posted August 28, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 28, 2017 I believe the longest goes toward the front... They are fairly close in length... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doyler Posted August 28, 2017 Share #6 Posted August 28, 2017 I agree Thicker area for the longer screw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
