I got in a Pirate pistol kit.
Its flintlock.
I have an English Flint for it and looking for tips or links to setting up the flint for a good spark.
I'm hoping I don't have to go through great lengths to buy more tools to make this happen.
I have the wood stained and applied some oil to it. Wood quality of course is not that great for this kit but just want something to fire.
I have 3F powder to use for it and already have .490 balls and pre-lubed patches I'll be using. I don't think I need a tight fitting ball for a pistol. Just something easy to load.
I hope to have it put together this weekend and do some test firing with just powder in the pan and no powder down the tube.
