Pappy,
I have an assortment of flints here and could send you some.
What size flint does the lock take ?

Pappy:
Not sure the size Paul but will measure it today, like i said very new at this and not real sure about anything, just trying to learn and figure things out, I appreciate the help and advice. I did make some of the tools I need for it yesterday and making a couple new powder horn for it also. Like Mike said flint locks and self bows seem to go together, lots to learn and lots of projects that go along with them, I really love that part.  ;)

PaulN/KS:
Sounds like you are having fun with it Pappy.
Measure the length as well as the width of the flint and let me know. I have an assortment of them here.
PM me if that's easier.

Buckskinner:
That is an excellent flintlock that you have acquired, a quality flintlock is a joy to shoot and surprises many cap gun shooters as to how fast the lock time is.

And the builder certainly knows what he is doing, I've been following Eric's post for years on the muzzleloading forum and learned much from him, now I'm doing the same over here!!!

Pappy:
Paul the size of the flint is 3/4 long /5/8 wide and 1/4 thick where it clamps in, WillH looked at it yesterday and said he thought he could make some also, I only have the one right now and it seems to be working fine but was told they don't last that long.  :) Just let me know if you think you have some that will work and we can work something out, and thanks.  :)
