I think I'm gonna do this when I weld the notch. This looks like it should center the hole with the pan.

This is the notch that is cut into the pan. Is this something that could be welded and then filed/sanded smooth?

To be honest, I don't know about being a conventional. I purchased it from my cousin who got it from his late father who got it from where, I don't know. I do have spare touch hole liner and on that one, the slot is more horizontal. So my guess is, I should scrap the current one and use the spare?

The vent hole is between 3/64 and 1/16 inch. Would it be a good idea to drill it out to 1/16"? The lock does spark pretty good. My main issue I guess is inconsistent firing. Sometimes when i shoot, after 5 shots I'll get a flash in the pan but no firing. Other times, I can shoot 15-20 times...

This is an older Jukar rifle from the early 80's. It does shoot and its as pretty accurate rifle so I'm also seriously considering getting an l and r lock drop in replacement for the rifle and didn't want to spend the money if the touch hole would be an issue.

I was wondering about the placement of the touch hole in the attached pictures. To me, it seems the height is good but it is placed too far forward. Is this something to be concerned with? Also, a previous owner filed a notch in the pan and I'm not sure the reason. I would understand if the...

I was doing the wipe occasionally approach but not getting down into the recessed part of the because honestly, I didn't realize my rifle had a patent breech. Still a little new to the game. I do have some alcohol wipes that I use for swabing the barrel so I may have to try those with a smaller...

It's from the kentucky rifle.

What would be a fair price for a CVA flintlock lock that sparks good? I'm currently considering buying the drop in lock from L and R and was going to sell my factory lock.

I think I got really lucky with the lock I got on mine. It sparks really well and actually has a pretty smooth action. Atleast from what I can tell from my limited experience. I havent handled a high quality custom lock yet as a comparison.

I shoot Goex. My thought was to just carry a brush and give it a quick scrub and then put an alcohol wipe on the end and give it a clean to be able to keep going.

I have an older CVA flintlock that sparks really well and will shoot reliably for the first 30 shots or so. After this, I can't get any ignition in the barrel unless I remove the touch hole liner and sprinkle the tiniest amount of powder inside the barrel, then reinstall the liner. After this...

I've done this same thing. I mounted my drill in a vise to hold it and taped the trigger down. I then put the ram rod into the drill to make a hill billy lathe. I plugged the drill in and used sand paper to sand down the ram rod until I got the correct thickness. I then applied a light coat...

If you had a larger gap, could you use a little solder to take up the space instead of jb weld?

It's not supposed to hit but mine does. I use a leather frizzen cover as a "safety" for my rifle since I can't have it at half cock when the frizzen is closed. As for flint selection, I am in now way an expert. I would Refer you to youtube. There are several good videos on there. One channel...

Does your flint hit the frizzen at half cock?

You could also try taking the lock appart and polishing all of the surfaces. That helped mine a lot with the trigger pull. I'm pretty satisfied with mine how it is now. I wouldn't want it any easier with being a single trigger.

I took a cheap drill just slightly bigger than the factory hole and drilled it out. Then I cut a new pin from the solid end of the same drill bit to replace the old pin. Took most of the side to side wiggle out for me

If anyone on here built an old Jukar flintlock rifle and stamped their name (J. Linville) with the year MCMLXXXI (1981) on the trigger guard, just thought you would like to know that the gun is still in good shape and shoots great.

I think you hit it on the nail for me. Over complication is what I tend to do with a lot of stuff. Thanks for everyone's input.
