I'm not at all serious about wantin' my money back, Pathfinder. (just had to pull your chain) But I am going to take a serious stab at making this gun work.
In fact I was planning to take the lock apart & polish all the contacting surfaces. If it turns out to be more than I can handle (and that's likely) then...

rick, "Congrats on joining the not really so exclusive club". :th up  Maybe not real soon, but... yeah. There are a lot of pilgrims that say "Me? NEVER!"  We have their membership cards made out, filled in,...with everything except the date. You an' 'em are probably going to forget the powder or ball.....sometime. Unless you quit, retire or go under (not really a choice).:Doh!  Sumtimes you kin git more an' one or two out if'n yer good at whittlin. An' since you won't be doin' no shooting til ya getts it whittled down jist right. Ya best get one an get started whittlin.  
   But my advice; I worked it out. Buy yerself bout haf dozen or so 4 foot hickery dowels the proper dia-meater fer yer gun weapon at a genral stoar and finish it. "At's a bit faster 'en whittlin an oversizer down. Enjoy bein' funned with. :hey-hey  Tall goes round....true it do!!! Njoy. :horse
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.

I can remember seeing a photograph what looked to be a ramrod in the chest of a Civil war field casualty.
