Back in the fall a mainspring snapped on one of my flintlocks.
I fixed it via welding but it was not as reliable so I ordered a new spring from a Pedersoli importer and this week it arrived.
With a little fitting here and there the lock was back to its old self.

Naturally I wanted to test it. I thought I was going to get a fox after spying one in the timber and successfully calling it in! However when I lost sight of it in a draw I failed to check my six and sure enough when I did it was less than 20yds away! Busted
So after that I just stalked wabbit.
The new spring lights up the pan a treat!

Congrats on the repair. I've had coyote do the same thing. In the high desert here you can see them coming then the disappear into an arroyo. Next hing you know they've sneaked up behind you. Had one do that then start it's little bark. I swear it was laughing at me.

I used to have one of these reproduction flintlock tinder lighters, apart from a 20: pound trigger pull it worked fine.

Fit a barrel and with that candle you could go lamping with it John

If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.
