What do you do to reface the frizzen? I had a 50 flinter that I practiced with all summer and got it to work reliably til I took it hunting and pointed it at a nice buck, only to hear pffssst and watch the buck stay there long enough to reprime the tray, then run off. at the end of the day I fired the reprimed gun and had a perfect firing. I still range shoot with my flinters and rabbit hunt with my 45, but I deer hunt with a cap gun.
