Great job on that lock. What sort of firearm are you planning to use it on?

This flintlock has already been taken from me.

I recorded a short video. I recommend watching from the third minute.
3.20 - Assembling the flintlock
9.42 - Flintlock test, gunpowder test

Bravo! Thank you for taking the time to document your work. I learned a lot from your efforts.

Thats odd. I had a Ketland repro pistol made in India and it sparked far better than any Spanish lock, Italian lock or Thompson Center lock I ever had. Got it dirt cheap at a weekend rendezvous because of where made (IIRC $50.00) Fired it at least a couple hundred times. On the under side of the barrel, is was marked 1987, which was quite a while back.
