Tell me one that’s better? Lead wraps were traditionally used on huge, military musket locks. Hence the pounded out ball for a flint wrap.
NOT the smaller commercial rifle/pistol locks. The smaller cock necks are susceptible to damage from the higher inertia of the lead wrapped flints. At least twice as heavy as a leather wrapped flint.
Knowing you’re an expert, I would think you’d have thought of this.

I bet a cheap CVA lock would hold up for years with the lead wrap

Probably, if you can get them to go off!
it’s obvious we will never agree on this. Good luck, with you fantasies.

Have Used thin leather for 50+ years. No problems. Was advised at the git -go to stay away from lead for flint jaws.
