flint size
 
Does anyone in here have a Pedersoli Blue Ridge rifle or Frontier rifle in flintlock and can tell me the size flints.
I downloaded the manual hoping it would be in there but it isn't. I want to be sure I have some on hand when my rifle gets here.

3/4" - Remember it's not the size of the flint but how you use it
 
Percussion caps bang better.

I looked on Cabela's Q&A and one question was ... what size flints does the Cabela's Blue Ridge rifle take. Most answered 3/4 in. One went into something about the french amber flints.

Thank you gentlemen.

My Hatfield by Pedersoli - basically the same gun - wants 3/4" width by 7/8" length. But 3/4" x 3/4" fits pretty well also.

Thanks - I just ordered a dozen Tom Fuller 3/4x3/4 black english flints from TOW.

Maybe next time. I heard a lot of good things about fuller flints so I figured I'd try them.
Only thing left to get now is a RB mould. I have .490 and .495 balls at home. I'll see what it likes before I go ordering a mould.
