Any suggestions on where to get a lock tuned?
As said earlier, Brad Emig is very good. I highly suspect, Brad's turn around time might be timely, as he is in high demand. I would for sure check him out. Also check local ML clubs for some direction in your area. It could save you some turn around time.Any suggestions on where to get a lock tuned?
I'm pretty new to flint shooting and lock tuning myself but one of my main points of interest is how snug and smooth the tumbler bearing fit through the lock plate is. Some of the ones I've looked at are pretty sloppy which cannot bode well for how consistently square the flint strikes and scrapes down the frizzen or for bearing longevity. IF it's wearing at angle it will wear much faster than if level and slug. If the cock can be moved side to side in the bearing than it will not hit the frizzen squarely and continue to cause the flints to wear un-evely to one side or the other.Any suggestions on where to get a lock tuned?
Question, does spring tuning on the frizzen have any relation to directing the spark shower into the pan or is this simply a function of frizzen shape and positioning?I'm pretty new to flint shooting and lock tuning myself but one of my main points of interest is how snug and smooth the tumbler bearing fit through the lock plate is.

The other thing I noticed in a couple of my flint guns is where does the frizzen direct the spark shower, ahead of the pan or into it. The hottest and most efficient spark will be a direct one to the pan powder not one that has bounced around once or twice before hitting the pan powder.
