I purchased my 1st flintlock and am unsure which flints I need to order. I am not sure what lock is on the rifle but it may be a small Siler.
I included photos below. After reading Track of the Wolf’s diagram, I believe I need a 5/8” x 3/4”.
However, the existing flint (which throws great sparks after a little knapping) is much smaller. It nearly touches the frizzen in half cock position. The frizzen is 3/4” measured at it’s base.
Any input out there?
