Question: Can a frizzen be too hard in order to spark the best ? I know hardness is tempered so the metal in not brittle, but can it be too hard to spark the best? I ask this question because I have a frizzen that was hardened and tempered, but a poor sparker. The lock is a very good lock, with plenty of main spring energy. The frizzen can't be cut with a file, it just slides right over it. The frizzen spring is not real strong, but I have been told by a very good long time rifle/ lock builder that a good flintlock should spark even with out a frizzen spring.
