On my frizzen is the screw broken as shown in picture?
This rifle was put together by my step dad and given to me. He is no longer with us so I’m learning what I have forgotten and learning more about this Hawken.

From the looks of the screw I would say the lock screw head is on the inside of the lockplate. What your looking at is the end of the threaded part of the screw.
If you take the lock out of the stock and examine it you will most likely also find another screw installed from the inside that holds the frizzen spring onto the lock.
It probably screws into a threaded hole that is in the center of that round area of the spring with the little lobe coming out of it to the rear.

What Zonie said. You should take lock off for cleaning anyway.

How do I do this? I’ve always just cleaned it by running patches down it. Never mind I found a video
Pull screws on other side of lock and remove lock pull ramrod and barrel wedge remove barrel and wash out with barrel with warm soapy water by using cleaning jag and cleaning patches. I run water thru barrel in a plastic bucket. Then have soapy water in bucket and use rod and patches to pump up and down barrel. After barrel is clean dry out with patches and oil. I use gunzilla it work with use of black powder.
You’re not going to learn any younger! Lol
