Gluing leather too a flint is not for me……
Maybe the Mods will make a “sticky “ note out of this thread….

I was chewing on this some more today and got the idea to try some of my rosin powder I use in my barrel vice for removing barrels from modern actions. When compressed the rosin powder becomes solid and really grips what ever shape it is molded to. This should work on both sides of the leather to grip both the cock jaws and flint !They also were very practical and took advantage of every technological advantage they could. All of them could make a gun from scratch but most made use of commercial locks when they became available as well as barrel blanks and even commercial scalps to forge there own barrels.
If unmentionable ARs and multi round magazines had been available in the 18th century you can be assured everyone would be shooting them instead of muzzleloadersIf Acra-Glas bedding compound had been available in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, you can be assured gunsmiths and gunmakers the world over would have used an ocean of it.
