My gun takes small flints, the 5/8" × 3/4" ones. I prefer the black English flints to the French Amber flintd. Tried both, black Englisg seem to spark a little better. My lock sparks GREAT with a new flint. I shot the gun today at a blanket shoot, took 40 shots which for me is a lot. Pretty much used up a new Flint. Is that good, avg, or poor life? My sons gun uses bigger flints, 3/4 or 7/8. They definitely last longer.
