Just received my flintlock pistol, shipped without a flint!

Just received my Traditions flintlock trapper pistol and not a single flint came with it. Could someone tell me what size it uses (nothing in the instructions)? Since nothing is available locally and mean within 300 miles, I will need to order a supply. Thanks. I really wanted to touch off a few rounds tonight

Should be something on this link, the width should be same as the frizzen...

I use the 5/8" flints in my Traditions guns and usually don't have much room to spare.

From the Q&A on Traditions' site.

What size flint do I use in my Traditions flintlock, and what type do I use?

5/8" hand-knapped English flints. You may want to opt for a slightly larger flint if you have a PA Pellet or new style flintlock assembly with the larger frizzen.

Thanks for the info. I had just finished searching their website.

Any time. I only found it so quick because I just purchased a Traditions Flintlock this week and I had already scoured their site for the same info.
