Hey Y'all,
This is my first time asking questions on this forum.
Many years ago I purchased a Siler lock and stock blank at a state shoot in Lone Jack Mo.Later after getting a barrel and set trigger from Dixie Gun Works,
I built a "poorboy"rifle.It shot well(as well as I could shoot LOL!)for quite some time,but later it started miss firing and breaking off the bottom edge of the flint.I had a shade tree gun smith(it turned out) work it over and he said the frizzen pivot had been drilled at a slight angle so he filled the pivot hole and
re drilled it.This was an improvement which only lasted for several rounds also
seemed to cause the lock to operate slowly compared to the original operation.
About the same time I changed jobs and haven't looked at the rifle for many years. Am now retired and moved to" sunnier climes" in south west Mo.(sunnier till this year I mean)and am starting to think about unlimbering my small black powder arsenal.Being on a fixed income(cheap) and being fairly handy,would like to shoot this rifle and am looking for suggestion about the flint problem.
Will appreciate any and all suggestions......
Don
