Hello all! Have a friend with older Hawkens 50 cal flintlock not used in a long time (it was his father's). He is having problems getting the gun to fire consistently. He says it only goes off about 1/3 of time. Ports are clear and he has tried both flint and artificial flint without much difference. He has both told to change frizzen or to file present frizzen (rough surface up). He hasn't tried either yet. What are your guys/gals thoughts?
