Hey Weasel:

Just gettin' back myself after a long dry spell.

The rifle itself will tell you the correct flint you should be using. The fling should be the same width as the frizzen face and of sufficient length so as to be almost touching the closed frizzen, about 1/2 to 3/4 up on the striking surface, from the half-cock position.

P.S. Adjust [bevel up or down] to make the shower of sparks to fall into the center of the pan.

I thought most of the Pedorsoli rifles had the smaller lock except for the Blue ridge or whatever they call the Pedor. modle that is like the Cabelas.

I believe you're right TG, the Blue Ridge and the Jager have the large locks which can use up to a 7/8" flint but all the others have the small lock which take the little 5/8" flint size.

Mine uses a 5/8' It is a blast, have fun.

Hello,

My first post to this forum, just joined today. I have two Pedrsolis, one is borrowed. My PA rifle is newer than the one I am borrowing, by about 4-5 years. The lock on mine is slightly taller and much heavier. It can also take the 7/8 flint. It is huge but it sparkles evrytime! :thumbsup:
