That coil spring looks pretty stout!

Yes, the coil spring seems stout. My thumb nail is not strong enough to open the door, so I ground the tip of a piece of deer antler to assist. I found that the gun locks need to be in the fired position when replacing them. Daryl

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this gun a sidelock, not a sideplate?

Rob, of course it is a sidelock. The locks are attached to the sideplate. It is not uncommon for a gun to have "false" sidelock sideplates, with a boxlock or even a triggerplate action. I think the Lefever in one of its iterations had sideplates with the lock on the interior of the gun. A friend has a John Dickson trigger plate gun with sideplates, making it appear to be a sidelock.

That's what I thought, I was confused by the title "side plate removal". But I guess the term side plate can refer to the plates on a side lock or the decorative plates on a box lock...
thanks,
Rob
