Good girl Jess! Looks like you had some fun Nath!
Don't your foxes know they belong in the hen house and they aren't supposed to eat lamb!?
What rifle do you use for fox?

WMR.
I only have two rimfires now, rifle wise.

Ironic you mention smashing flints.....that is exactly my problem......i am working with an incorrigible T/C Hawken .45 that absolutely eats flints......the fit and geometry of the relation between the frizzen and hammer seem o.k. and the frizzen moves readily but the hammer must be hitting too hard.....have read almost every reference and watched dozens of videos on the subject of flint selection and adjustment.....a 1" x 1/4 " ferrocerium fire starting rod in place of the rock sparks well and seems to last longer than any of the different flints i've tried.....even a toy paper cap glued with spirit gum to the front of piece of clothes pin used as a proving dummy sets off a pan of priming.....i got that idea from reading an account of u.s. army trials in the firelock to percussion transitionary era referencing "fulminate pills" as pan priming several years before the maynard tape.......
Interesting.
I usually experiment with frizzen spring weight and or the shape of the heel.

Math:
I wish I could send you this hawken for you to shoot foxes and the jukar blunderbuss but uncle Sam and johnny bull won't allow it....
