First attempt napping flint.

[M. De Land]

I have never even thought of knapping a striker for a flint lock rifle athough I have knapped a slew of arrow heads. A striker should be easier to knap than an arrow head due to its shape,Iwould think?

Yes, and the flakes from our spawls make dandy flat gun flints! Now you can even use your debitage.
