sideplate

See the two refs, one is Wiki IT the other Wiki EN.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : I've looked at both references, but I'm afraid I'm none the wiser. The Italian one says "piastra di ferro incastrata e fissata con viti nella cassa, che serviva a collegare le diverse parti dell'acciarino", but the English one doesn't mention sideplate.

See the animated flintlock firing GIF in the "Construction and operation" section.
agree Jo Macdonald : Yep, the side plates are the plates on either side of the action (hammer/trigger mechanism) that connect the stock/action/barrel.
