Hello all. I have a replica 1768 short land brown bess I use for deer and birds and everything in between recently ran out of viable flints. I tried quartz and some other rocks I found randomly some worked once but only once. I had an old wall clock made of agate so I smashed it with a hammer and have been using that lately I get maybe 3 shots before I have to rotate it. My dad theorized I could use a piece of a firesteel ferrorod thing as a flint I haven't tried it yet I wanted to ask first if anybody has done this and if so if it works and if not is it a good idea or a stupid idea? Thanks for your time.
PS i know my gun is rusty its on purpose I'm trying to build a patina it was shiny when I bought her I didn't like it so I'm trying to rust her up nice and good
