Readers may have seen my post about flashes in the pan. I decided to buy some flints, because I was getting low. I have been shooting the size on the right. They always looked a little small to me, they were not nearly as wide as the frizzen. But I had researched them when I ordered them, and thought they must be right. This is for my Don Bruton Gillespie rifle with a Late Ketland lock. I'm just learning Flintlocks...did percussion for years.
I researched again (I don't remember numbers very well) and found a Late Ketland Chambers lock should use a 3/4" flint. So that's what I told the man at Stonewall Creek. They came and are a lot wider than what I've been using. Are these too wide? They throw a shower of sparks alright.
