RE: How do I keep it dry
If you mean a side lock, take some handi wrap and put that over the muzzle. Then take a tire valve stem cover and cock the hammer back, put that over the nipple and percussion cap, and lower the hammer back down on it. When you want to shoot, cock the rifle and flip the cap off.
You can even thread some fishing line through the cap and tie it off to the trigger guard so you do not even loose it. That should keep you going just fine in wet weather.

RE: How do I keep it dry
When it rains here in NC, I just put my butt up under my coat, with the lock under my armpit....When I get to the stand I lay a boonie type hat over the lock area to keep it dry....And I shoot a flinter....
