After my latest range session, i am going to say the locks are just the pits. Either the frizzen is tempered too hard or the mainspring is too weak or the frizzen spring is too strong. Dang lock is eating my Blk. English flints for breakfast. It has ate 7 flints in 1 dz. shots. Flints are fair priced but at avg. of $2 each it will get costly to play with this Pedersoli flintlock. I may have to sent the lock to DGW's under warranty. I will not buy another Pedersoli flintlock in this lifetime Perhaps there is a different kind of flint that would hold up better? Maybe that's something you can look into. Maybe what you have failing is inferior stone. Just my thoughts, I have very little experience with smokers. In my mind it stands to reason it could be related to the flint. Even a "premium" product line is not immune to get a defective shipment here and there.

Its been awhile since i have been to this Thread. I have been filing on the Frizzen spring n cleaned the Lock & triggers. I has improved some, i used 1/2" flint n its now firing. It does still an issue, it hang fires about 1/3-1/2 second delay. Has not ruined a flints in 10 shots, so that is good.

Well another year has passed on this project. I got the Frizzen spring filed down polished. It now fires off but has maybe a 3rd-half second delay. I found out why, the vent liner protruded inside the barrel. I got that all ground down n cleaned up. I am trying to get some free time to test it in a shooting session.
