    Chassepot Firing Needle Spring Issue

    Good Afternoon. Getting frustrated with the '66. Cartridge seems good, fabricated needle seems good, musket cap being hit by needle but no ignition. Constructed the cartridge to specs from the board but getting no ignition.

    Ready to make a spring but need suggestions on what to use and how much to cut. Three folks at the range watched the bolt and they said it looks real slow on the trigger-pull. When I dry fire, it just does not have that metal snap that I would expect. Happy Holidays to all.

    Thanks, Randy
