Tuned Siler lock????

Who assembled the Tuned (with roller frizzen)
Siler flintlocks. It has a fish symbol stamped inside the plate. Lock need repair hangs up at half cock when fired sometimes.

Sounds like you just may need a fly. Check to make sure it is still in there. Or, if it is in there, it may not have been hardened propely and wore with use. I had this happen on a lock once. The sear ate the fly up over time. The main job of the fly is to not allow the sear to go into the half cock position once the trigger engages the sear.

Does this happen when the lock is in the gun as well as out of the gun?
