I sent the lock from my unknown (Ardessa, Spain) .45 flintlock rifle to ToW to have the frizzen hardened. They told me the springs, etc., were shot, and there was no way to get new ones. So I ordered a new L&R replacement lock. (I figured it's cheaper than a new smokepole.)
Is this a quality lock? I'm expecting a much better sparker than I've had for the last year or so. Hope that's true. Any comments?
Also: I like using just one powder granulation in my Bess. Is it possible to do the same in a .45 rifle? Would this small L&R lock spark well enough to use 3Fg as my prime?
As always, thanks loads for sharing your knowledge.
