Picking
I shoot flint Muskets. I mount the flint bevel down, flat side up. When I have a miss fire, you can usually see a smooth shinney spot on the sharp edge of the flint. Gently tapping the top edge with a pc of steel, this spot will flake off leaving a sharp edge.
Useta use the same method with smaller sporting locks. Did that make any sense?
