Hi everyone,
I’m hoping for some expert advice. As a lefty flintlocks are awfully hard to find. I recently acquired a lefty DGW Tennessee rifle which I’ve fallen head over heels for. I’m worried about the wear on the Frizzen. Since replacement parts are effectively non-existent I thought I’d ask for some advice. What can I do to prolong the life of the Frizzen and or are there any locks that can be used to replace it should it finally wear out?View attachment 290580View attachment 290581
I would either reface the frizzen or fit a cast 1095 frizzen.
There are plenty of replacment frizzens of this style that can be fit to that lock.
Resoled frizzens can be riveted, or soldered on or brazed on or TIG welded on.
