Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. They are very educational for those of us who have never worked on a flintlock. I'll be ordering a kit soon.
Thank you Jim … your kits are effortless and marvelous at the same time. My woods runner is fantastic! You’re making the history books my friend. Keep up the good work, take a little break now and again to avoid burnout. Your long rifles are second to none !!
Getting ready to reassemble my SMR lock after finishing. I wanted to make sure I had the steps in the proper order and the lubrication correct. Thank you for such a detailed and precise product.
Jim, it would be helpful to have an exploded view of the lock with names of parts and maybe torques for the screws etc. In fact, I would pay for a printed one to come with the kit or as a pdf from the store.

You could but we prefer to leave the lock in the white or use Jax Black, kiblerslongrifles.com/products/jax-black-darkener-recommended-for-iron-steel-parts?_pos=1&_psq=jax+b&_ss=e&_v=1.0
I heard the top jaw screw slot was narrow to fit a knife blade or the tip of a bayonet. My original bayonets do not have a pointed tip the Tri-shape most bayonets end with a flat screwdriver shape. Jim, is this true about the screw slot in the cock jaw??
awesome video. could you explain a little more about replacing the Fly? small part and hard to see in video. does it have a specific orientation or can it only be put together one way? thanks
@@kiblerjim I'm having trouble with this step as well. I blued my SMR lock and now I'm struggling to get it back together. The fly may only go in one way but I can't seem to figure out what way that is. I wish I had taken a picture of the year of the lock before I disassembled it.
@charlesgrantham5216 I much fear losing the fly of my L &R lock, which I will contemplate taking apart today if the frizzen clamp arrives from Dyson (English company). I once lost a spring loaded part of a Radom (Vis 35) magazine catch and had to make one by hand...sight unseen.
Great help, I took mine apart and the tip on re-installing the sear spring was priceless. Thank you!
So happy it was helpful!!
Is there a video on how to "finish" the lock or do we leave it as received?
Love your videos they are so so much help.
I'm happy to hear they are helpful! Thanks for watching.

I definitely appreciate the care and precision in your locks. I’m saving up for a southern mountain kit now. Appreciate your great videos!
Awesome! Thank you!

Good idea and we will work on that
Best educational videos around...thanks. I will be ordering one of your kits shortly.
Awesome, thank you!
Great videos today! Just received my Colonial kit yesterday, I'm Absolutely Impressed with the quality. THANKS!
Thank you from France!
I drilled out an appropriate size hole in a 2X4 in order to knock out the tumbler. The wood supports the plate and the tumbler falls into the hole.
Did the fly also fall into the hole?

Very Awsome!
Glad you think so!
How often would you take it apart, other than for a repair? Once a year to clean?
Never unless it gets rusty or something.
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
Jim, are there any parts of the lock that would require polishing or the trigger assembly?
no nothing requires polishing
Jim where can a guy buy the spring compressors you showed.?
Robert Boggs sells high quality but expensive and track of the wolf sells some too
Much, much, much improved audio!
Interesting video, thanks.
how often do you need to do a complete disassembly of a lock
never unless it gets rusty or something

awesome video.
could you explain a little more about replacing the Fly? small part and hard to see in video.
does it have a specific orientation or can it only be put together one way?
thanks
It can only be put in one way, just be careful, they're definitely called a fly for a reason. They're very easily lost.
