I have a flint fussy flintlock and need help. I don't have the money, and now have run out of time before hunting seasons, to send the lock out for the tuning it needs.
It sparks pretty reliably but only flips the frizzen all the way over with a fairly long flint (or one set well forward with a spacer behind it) and placed hump down in the jaws.
1st question, just clear me up on an assumption. When I look at past orders for flints on Track of The Wolf and see the dimensions I am assuming the 1st number is width and the second is length. Correct?
The 7/8×1" flints I buy for my other gun will work of set well forward and hump down, but being too small and already set forward, I don't get as much use out of them. I ordered some 1"×1 1/8" flints last fall and the length is great, but they are too wide.
Does anyone have a source of flints measuring 1" long (or even longer up to 1 1/8") but only 7/8" wide?
Thank you.
