Doug, I'm guessing that the 'forend lock' is of the wedge type, like the Colt cap & ball revolver barrels???

Perhaps it was left oversize for the owner to fit it??? I ask this because I have two Italian Pietta repro cap & ball Colt replicas [1860 & 1858] that I bought new; both have oversize wedges. No instructions were included on how to fit them, so mine just hang half in/half out like this carbine...
