Flints size?

[lonewolf5347]

I like to ask what size flints for the interarms hawken lock .
I would say 3/4 x7/8"
The hammer on the lock seem to be the older style from how it scrape the frizzen.
I wonder any one have any idea who sells the newer style hammers .
Talking about t/c improvement on reliable strikes

That's a common size. But, do check out the flints on TOW web site. They give good info on what sizes fit what locks.

The flint should be as wide as the frozen and about 1/8" shorter than the distance from the jaw screw to the face of the frozen. Length is adjusted by the leather wrap or a section of thong under the flint to get a scrape along the face of the frizzen. A notch can be cut at the back of the leather to accommodate a longer flint.
