Miroku 1766 Charleville having Hammer/Frizzen Problems

Whatever you do, I hope you will gain more knowledge of these fine old replicas and have a better understanding of the care and maintenance of them.

Go very, very easy with a 220 grit.

I'll be careful

This is a miroku 1763/66 lock I tuned and polished at 220 then brushed with a fine wire wheel. While you can achieve this 220 paper , stones work much better. When you’re polishing use mineral oil as a lubricant and soft backer helps too.

For bearing points just light polishing use very little pressure. It doent much to fix you’re issue

I wonder how many got so used to a wooden “ flint” for dry firing that they forgot to place a REAL flint in the jaws?

Very nice polishing job. What do you mean by stones?
