My new (to me) first flintlock arrived today. Pedersoli .45 Kentucky. It is super clean and well maintained. Bore looks very good inside. It came with a flint installed with leather. Sparks fine. I pulled the lock and cleaned and oiled it. I put a screwdriver in the slot of the touch hole but it would not budge under moderate pressure. It was my plan to it out and reinstall with anti-seize, but didn't want to go to heavy force.

Should I just leave it alone or try harder to get it out?

Thanks.

Don.
 
If it doesn't come out easily now, it won't come out any harder later. Just leave it alone as long as the gun shoots fine. If it ain't broke don't fix it! :idunno:
 
do no remove the flash hole liner. it will lead to, too many problems they are not meant to be removed. only if it needs to be replaced. which should be in about one lifetime.

That's my thought process now. It's not like a nipple, and so forth.
