I'm not familiar enough with the workings of the lock, I dont know where the seer is. If I did, would I use a dremel tool or a file to grind it off?

Ok, so I sat down today to work on this problem and the first thing I did was back off the screw on the other side of the hammer slightly. I had to work to get it to break free. Its still snug just not super tight. I haven't had a problem cocking the gun since. I am going to put some blue...

paper clips would work, good idea👍

Thank you all for the advice, it helps! I will try the suggestions. I have had the lock out and cleaned the rust that collected over the 30 years of sitting around. It was stuck before I cleaned it and worked (mostly) after the cleaning. I will try backing out the screws a bit and see if...

I inherited a custom flintlock and it will stay in half cocked position but wont cock fully. I can pull the hammer? Back to the fully cocked position, it just takes several tries to get it to 'catch" and stay fully cocked. Once cocked it stays cocked (so far) and the gun functions normally...

Greetings, 25 years ago my father did a big favor for a friend and was gifted a flintlock rifle. He had no idea It was a functioning firearm until he recently passed it dow to me. I showed it to my local club and they helped me clean it up and identified it as a .45 caliber custom made...

I have a small powder horn that was given to me from the donations box at the range I go to. It's a little small and had a couple of small holes I had to epoxy. Long story short, I'm looking for a small to medium sized powder horn and strap. It doesnt need to be fancy although I want a decent...

I've been lurking for a couple of weeks, thought I'd post an intro.. Greetings from the Pacific NW! I am new to muzzle loading. I recently inherited a custom flintlock and am having fun shooting it. I've been to one rendezvous but otherwise have just been to the range. I'm looking for...

Welcome from Portland, Oregon!

Do you have pictures where someone is modeling it? I'd like to see it on someone right handed if possible.

Hey Samz, I'm from SE Portland too

Hey Rich, I'm in SE Portland. I am a member and it would be great to have someone to shoot with. Also, they have a muzzle loading event every third Saturday from 8am to 2pm. If anyone else is in the Portland area and wants to make some smoke hit me up!

I am in Portland and am interested in those things. PM me
