Tuning a flintlock
« on: December 02, 2012, 07:36:25 PM »
I have a lock that I purchased from Willie Cochran at Friendship in 1975. I think that he was just getting started as he only had a couple in his pocket to show me. I purchased a percussion and a flinter which I could interchange when the weather really got wet.
The flinter is in need of tuning/repair - I had to have  the original frizzen replaced and it just is not right. It could be that the frizzen spring is "sick" after the years of shooting or the cam(?) on the frizzen is off.
Does anyone out there have a suggestion as to who to contact to get it "fixed"?
Thanks in advance...

I would start by giving Brad Emig a call. I did have his # but I guess Im getting old timers cause I cant find it. You might try and google his name. Hope this helps a little
