No, IIRC, you will need two large screws, sorry I wasn't clear. You will need the small screw through the tang and large screws through the face and heel of the buttplate.

I thought that may be the case, but wanted to make certain.

Thanks again

So what are the general thoughts on these? Shootable? The one I picked up, the barrel looks amazing externally. No pitting anywhere, even below the wood line. It retains a good portion of the bluing as well. I have to have a smith pull the breech plug to check the barrel inside, but overall it looks good. The trigger and lock mechanism, although gunked up with grease and brick dust show no signs of rust.
