Hello folks, I'm new to the forum and would like to get some information on a hand gun recently purchased.
It is a new Yazel .36 cal flintlock that I can't get to make sparks when the flint hit's the frizzen.
It will jam the frizzen part way open and short cycle without completing the full travel.
In looking it over it appears that the flint makes contact to high up on the frizzen face and am wondering what is the remedy.
I have another much cheaper flint pistol that makes contact with the frizzen about half way down and it makes a good shower of sparks, working perfectly.
Does the cock need to be heated and bent down farther to make contact with the frizzen lower down? MD
