    Flintlock lock disassembly

    Flintlock lock disassembly

    Thanks for asking, Yes I have gunsmith tools and hardened hollow ground screwdrivers. The reason I’m asking so many questions is it is a Manton and I don’t want to make any mistakes. So the part that looks like a dagger in pictures #2 and #3 is the tang? When you lift out the barrel the...
