Thoughts on traditions rocklocks

I've been wondering about these myself.

I bought a Traditions flintlock kit for my grandson one year. He showed interest in wanting to try muzzleloaders but I didn't want to spend a lot of money in case he wound up not liking it. Turns out he did. We found the gun to be an OK shooter but it's dinky little lock leave a lot to be desired. It requires those small 5/8 flints and even then there isn't much room for the frizzen to operate. His always would never allow the frizzen to close fully on the pan so he'd always have to ensure the gun was held upright or his pan powder would vacate the building.

Shouldn't be to hard to fix. Have you disassembled the lock ?
