Mr. 16 gauge,
Frizzens take a hammering from flints and show gouges and pits over time. I polish mine so the flints last longer. Adam

Well, since the weather today was crappy, I decided to make the trip to my 'local' BP shop (which is about an hour drive away) and see what they had to say......their diagnosis? Dull flints (although they seem pretty sharp to me
 ); at any rate, they put a new flint in, and it sparked right up....so I guess I'm back in business.Tommarow's weather is suppose to be crappy for duck hunting as well, so maybe I'll try and get out and see if I can take a squirrel or two again...... Wish me luck!

That frizzen looks like mine on both my DP'S. I use english flints mostly from TOTW. I have found that some flints will need knaped after 5 shots while others will go 20-30 shots. I have to wipe frizzen pan and flint after 5 - 10 shots.
Good luck and blast some tree rodents.
