Bob, I never replied in the email on the estimated year of your gun but I believe it is around 1880-81.

Bob, you have to remove the sidelock to access the set screw that retains the firing pin. Hopefully this screw moves easily because if it doesn't you will probably have to disassemble the gun. Take photos as you go because the action spring and trigger must be correct in order for the gun to open and close/lock. David and many others here can lend assistance if needed.
