If it's a Chambers, and you haven't screwed with it, send it to Chambers and he will take care of the problem.

If a flintlock is fired, and the frizzen comes to rest on the flint, most of the times the frizzen has rebounded so fast you can't see it.
Check by opening the frizzen, put a thumb so you can just feel the front of the frizzen. **** and dry fire the lock. If you feel a tap on your thumb, you know the frizzen is simply rebounding.
 
There was a post on a page I follow from Barbie. She said most of the locks they get returned simply need a little grease and oil then they work fine. From my own experience any gun that someone brings me to work on it doesn't look like it has seen any oil from the first day it was made.
