Brown Bess flint size

[mastrsgt]

I just got a MVTC 1756 Long Land and I don't know what size flint I should get for it. Any suggestions on size and source?

1 1/8" from Track Of the Wolf.

A 1" will work as well. I wouldn't go any smaller than that though.

Thanks to both of you. I'll get some ordered today.

If you go to the TOW ammunition page and then pick the caliber of your flinter and follow that to flints the page you get will have instructions on sizing a flint to your lock. If you go directly to flints you won't get this information. If you have a choise, I'd recommend getting a flint that is the right length over the right width. Buy one of each size you think will work and try them out. Buy more of the one that works the best. :thumbsup:
