Hi Ward,
Was going to leave it until the weekend but done now. I have not had any experience with flintlocks but it would appear that the mainspring has disengaged from the hammer sear, I think this might be the original lock and the mainspring has come off and pushed the whole lock upwards causing the brass to be crushed on the upper part of the stock. I am not sure where to go from here. Hope you can help.
My Regards,
Norman.
