I just finished a build a couple of days ago. (the build will get its' own thread later) Chambers Large Siler lock. I sparked the lock when it first arrived and it was fine. For engraving the frizzen, I heated it to orange to soften it, and then went through the same process (with an oil quench) to harden it, and then in to the oven at 375 for an hour to temper. Now when I reassembled it last night, practically no spark, or, only 1-2 of them every 4th-5th trigger pull..
What have I missed or done wrong? I did this EXACT same thing on the last build, (which used a Chambers Late Ketland) and it sparked to beat the band.
Suggestions?
