I just finished up removing nearly 1lb of wood from my French musket from Middlesex Village. I know there are those that hate, and those that get by with these muskets. I must say after cleaning up the wood, and taking off the 1957 chrome polish on the metal its begining to look nice.
The problem that I am at now is that I have never messed with tuning a lock at all. This one is much like a bear trap in the strength of the springs, and pretty clunky in operation.
I have also noticed that its smashing the edge on a couple of different flints I have tried.
Is there anyone I can send the lock to to have it tuned? or is there any instructional guides to learn how to do it?
Thanks,
