Pedersoli Alamo Long Rifle

Have a Pedersoli Alamo Long Rifle coming my way.

What’s the flint size??

Anyway, surfed their website and googled it. Can’t find flint size anywhere?

Anyone happen to own one or know the size?

Thank you my friends.

Most likely a 5/8” square as the lock is the same as used in many of Pederosoli’s “long” rifles.

Agree my friend. I own several of the Pedersoli makes. My Frontier & BlueRidge are larger. My Bess are even larger yet!

Anyway, my Kentucky and Cub Scout also uses 5/8. Looks to me that the Alamo would also be near that size as well?

Thought I’d check with my buddies here first. I pretty much have all sizes covered between the different flintlock’s I have.

Bottom line is that it was out of pure curiosity prior to getting my hands on this one.

Even called John at TOW and he wasn’t exactly sure. He had guessed that it would probably be a 5/8 flint as well?

Unless something very recently has changed, the following Pedersoli all use the same lock whether flint or percussion-

Kentucky rifle
Pennsylvania rifle
Dixie Pennsylvania rifle
Alamo rifle
Dixie Deluxe Cub rifle
Scout rifle
Kentucky pistol
Kentucky Deluxe pistol
Navy Moll pistol
Bounty pistol

These models I believe have the same locks as the above weapons but I'm going by memory here so I could be wrong

Country Hunter rifle
Charles Moore pistol
Continental Dueling pistol

The flint's shipped with the flintlocks currently measure 5/8 by 3/4. They are a touch long but work. 5/8 by 5/8 works much better. Hope this helps.

It does my friend. I appreciate your response.

Thank you.

I can't help you much with flint size Cowboy, as I once owned an Alamo rifle in percussion.

Just wanted to say that it was a nice little light weight rifle in 45 caliber that shot very well. I'm sorry that I sold it and one day if a chance arises, would buy another.

Thank you for the reply my friend. I picked this one up because it was being sold for an extremely low price that I couldn’t pass up. Everyone here knows how that goes! lol

Anyway, it’s a .50
