frizzen hardening
« on: March 13, 2019, 12:49:35 AM »
I am new to this flintlock stuff, so please excuse me for this question.  I recently built a Jim Kibler Colonial kit.  Came with a Chamber's Virginia lock.  Is the frizzen already hardened?

Yes, it should be ready to shoot.

Phil,

Frizzens come hard and ready for use from Jim, unless you buy a  lock kit.

Best,
Richard.
