Disassembling and Re-assembling a Flintlock with Jim Kibler

Jim shows how to disassemble and re-assemble a flintlock, using one of his Round-Faced English Flintlocks as an example. This is a skill that can seem overwhelming for new builders who need to take their lock apart to finish it, but isn't so bad once you see it done.
The tool used is called a Mainspring Vise and one can be purchased from various flintlock supply vendors such as this one from Track of the Wolf

The little tube of grease Jim uses for his locks is a little pricey for a small tube (about $20) but it is amazing and he strongly recommends it. Its called Krytox GPL 215 and it's available on Amazon www.amazon.com...
