Figure 11 is a photograph of a musket. There is a rectangle shape superimposed on the photograph to highlight the area that contains the lock mechanism. The phrase "lock, stock, and barrel" refers to the three main parts of a musket. The stock takes up about quarter of the total length of the musket and the lock mechanism is located where the stock joins the barrel.
