ABSTRACT:
A flintlock mechanism for a firearm is modified to utilize a pyrophoric element to produce the sparks necessary for ignition. The pyrophoric element is mounted on the frizzen surface normally struck by the flint whereby the flint strikes the pyrophoric element to abrade particles which are thereby ignited and driven into the priming charge in the pan.
