Hi,
This is fun to read. Folks are actually experiencing what a well designed and made flintlock can do. I am convinced that many, maybe most, modern flintlock shooters never experienced a good lock and don't really know what they should expect. The lock below is a Chamber round-faced English lock that fired 671 rounds before a misfire using up 10 flints.
I even posted this lock sparking with a rounded piece of quartz.
Flintlocks should be snug against the barrel. On a Kibler kit there is no excuse for any gaps except inexperience or ignorance, or both.

This is me....spent years running TC Renegade & Hawken with subpar performance. I did swap out to an L&R RPL lock on the Hawken and it's been a lot better reliability than the TC stock lock (even with upgraded taller hammer). Just ordered a Kibler SMR .45, excited to see how this will perform.
