I know how to flint knap and have all I need to make a lifetime supply of flints. I will GLADLY give someone 2.50-3.50 a piece. Gladly.
How do I order them?? I need a few that are longer than the normal size to ensure my frizzen kicks all the way open. Thanks.
 
If you can’t afford the price of a humble flint perhaps you should find a cheaper hobby. BTW I don’t see any bitching about the price of black powder along with the flint rant.
 
Seriously can you name just 1 thing that has not risen in price?
How
Fur.

Except beaver, slightly up ; about everything else crashed a few years ago.
From what my Expat Army mates tell me, the price of Beaver in the Land of Smiles has actually dropped considerably this year.....

I can make you some. What size is your need. $1.25 each plus shipping at $10.20. I will keep your check and ship one week alter it clears. Ike
 
Best thing about muzzleloading is you can save money by learning to make your own supplies. I learned how to make powder which I can do for pennies on the pound. One out of the three ingredients I have an almost limitless supply(willow tree in my back yard)so that costs nothing. I make my own ammunition and have enough lead to drown a horse so Im set there. Again little to no cost. I guess if need be I'll teach myself to knap flint to save even more money.

Making flints ain’t hard. If I can do it, anybody can.
