As a minimum their flash hole usually needs to be enlarged.

There are many things that can be done to tune a flintlock, from deburring all of the internals to making adjustments to the frizzen/frizzen spring relationship.

Let's see what you get and work from there. In the meantime, you may want to get a pan primer. They are not absolutely necessary, but handy.
