I have an older moder RE davis Jaeger Flintlock. This lock was purchased back in 1993, it was lost in a move and just recently found. The rifle it was put on is from Pecatonica (Transition Rifle)
The jaws of the cock project into the pan and the flints hit the pan. This puts the flints inline with the vent and the blast is dammaging the flint. This also results in a very clunky lock action and a delay in firing. I have another lock from davis ( Twigg) and it is fast and smooth.
What can be done about this problem? any help would be great. Thanks
