I know a really great gunsmith, and I did give him the gun to look at and he said it was fine...so I feel kind of awkward going back to him, you know? The only other gunsmith in the area is so booked up he isn't taking any new work.Tinker2 said:I would just go to my gunsmith, they should have the spring stock on hand.

There's no "umph" to the strike. It's lucky if it sparks at all, let alone kick out the frizzen (I'm by no mean an expert on flintlocks, but I assume it has to spark lol). The gunsmith is one of the old timers at my gun club, so I just don't want to insult him since he's just about as nice of a guy as you could meet. If I can fix it on my own even better ...Tinker2 said:He may have meant it will work fine just like that. It may be a non-problem.
Don’t feel awkward to go back to him, if you want a new spring, tell him.
Here are some pictures of the gun...ddoyle said:Very interesting lock. I am intersted in coil spring back action flintlocks. Would love to see the rest of the gun.
