I know someone posted a link in here a couple months ago, but i cant find it.
It was for flints in bulk. Figured with my new interest in cap and ball, I should probably score a sack of rocks.

I think the source is IMA. I got a bag and they are old Bess flints from Nepal. Lots of them were used and dull, mostly black with a few ambers. I got at least 8 older spall flints, which is way cool. Good thing about flints is they can be resharpened.

Don't understand. "Cap and ball" and you're looking for flint?

Quote HistoryQuoted: No disrespect, but if you think those terms are interchangeable, you need to do some reading. I'll try to explain what you obvously didn't comprehend. I have an interest in cap and ball, so in preparation to the eventual graduation into flintlock firearms, I would like to stock up on some flints. Does this help? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Thanks! That was the place. :-) I had to go over there and take a look. Cant do it. Not on the pound of flints nor on the original CW era rifles. Pretty sure IMA has some connection to BudK Knives. BudK had all those guns 5 or 10 years ago and prices were significantly less. I bought my flints from this place: http://www.heritage-products.com/Products_Flints_PP.html Don't need a pound of them. |
