Hi everyone, this is my first post. I got a Pedersoli Brown Bess for 740 brand new. It came with a flint and a lead holder for the flint. I cant seem to keep it tight. I see some use leather. Is there a certain type of leather or brand to use? Or is it normal to retighten it after each use. I have not fired it yet, I have never fired one of these things at all. I haven't fired any gun since the 90's. Maybe you can let me know how to properly install a flint. Thanks
