I have a Thompson Center PA Hunter flintlock rifle. When I first got it I was using the T/C flints but they did not produce much spark. I then picked up some English flints at Shyda's and had great success with them. The last few years I have been having issues with getting a good spark. I replaced the frizzen however I really don't think the old one was worn out. It did not seem to make a great difference. The English flints I was having trouble with were from Dave Logan’s in Harrisburg.
I picked up some new ones from Gander Mountain however have not gotten around to trying them yet. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do to try to correct a problem with poor spark on a T/C lock?
Originally I had bought the PA Hunter to use with round balls but when PA changed regs. I switched to the T/C Maxi Hunter. The rifling is a slower twist for round balls but it seems to shoot the Maxi Hunter Conical bullets ok.
