I built a CVA Big Bore.54 Big Bore Mountain rifle in 1980 and shot it infrequently the first couple years. I had it “tuned” by a blackpowder shop West of Chicago at that time and unfortunately it was never the same , or as good, a spark thrower since that time. I am now almost 67 years old and looking to get back into shooting this flintlock. I am currently looking into a replacement lock or getting the original working better. Stay tuned…

Welcome drbill, from PA 👍
 
I have a couple buddies that hunt there still
PA's Game Lands are great and our Flintlock only season 😄
Hopefully the new kids on the block don't change it
I didn't realize we have over one million acres in Game Lands
That’s a lot of public access. I live in OH where most areas are private. Fortunately, my best friend has a camp near Tionesta so I get to hunt the Allegheny National Forest. A return trip to Claysville is needed for sure.
 
Welcome from Valdosta Georgia. I've always thought that the custom locks spark more reliably. You also need to invest in some good sharp flints. Bill
