    Speed of lock vs trigger

    New shooter here. I have a maslin lock soon to be replaced with an l&r. rifle is damn good as far as I know out to 75 yards. But has a delay offhand that throws off every fifths shot (third), so if I am good 4 out of five (3" group at 75 then a flyer) will a new lock help that much! Meaning...

    How do you clean your gun?

    How would you booger up a stock by removing the barrel? By pinned do you mean with one or two wedge pins. Just curious.

    Hey thanks that sounds like a great idea. Brass should work.

    Prime in Pan

    Thanks the primer has not gone down into the rifle, I checked that, the barrel matches up to the pan tight. I think I do loose alittle primer, when shaken, was thinking of grinding bottom of the frizzen or pan to make a better fit but very hesitant as could make it worse, as angles would change...

    Prime in Pan

    I am sure this has been asked but I could not find it on the search function. How do you keep a reliable charge in the pan while hunting? I shook the rifle at he range and found less reliability - a couple of misfires after shaking the rifle. I assume powder in the pan moves around, I tried...

    Not sure what a bevel relates to? Can you expand? Touch hole has a slot for screwdriver and it is pointed at 11 and 5 o'clock because that is where it pointed when tightened. Thanks.

    Thank you for the information again. Rather then bend the cock back what about a longer sharper flint to start with?

    Thanks agian to all I really do appreciate people sharing their knowledge and will save me a lot of heartache. I have attached a vid of the ignition below.

    Guess I got lucky, After I cleaned out the rust from the barrel with about 12 patches I ran it over to Dixons Muzzleloader shop in PA. He helped tune the lock and checked the barrel and told me the rifling was sharp and had minor pitting in two locations that would not affect the accuracy. He...

    I will say the frizzen and flint do not make what I would consider a lot of spark when dry fired, I do get alittle spark not sure if this could be the problem.

    New Flintlock Hunter Here

    Yes I noticed the rear of the lock plate is not flush. Would the angle offset the pan alignment I checked and this was not the case. i wonder if it was a kit? The rifle has a lot of "patina" ie. surface rust for a modern replica type flintlock rifle too. Fit and finish at this point in my very...
