Rich Pierce E-Mail for flints

[Buzzard II]

Does anyone have a CURRENT e-mail address for Rich Pierce flints? I would like to try them out but can't find a current e-mail address for him. Any info on these flints as well as TOTW Tom Fuller flints are also welcome. I'll be using flints in a L&R lock in T/C and Lyman GP guns. Thanks to all!

Bob, Rich Pierce is a moderator on the American Longrifles site and is a frequent contributor there as well. However, AFAIK, he's no longer making or selling flints, but you can easily find and ask him your question over there.

I use Tom Fuller flints from TOTW and have nothing but praise for them. They produce hot showers of sparks and last a long time. In my most recently built rifle I put in a new flint at the beginning of each season, and after the season I practice with it all of the next year.

Thank you for the great info.

I recommend sticking with the Fuller flints. Bless Rich for making flints, but the Burlington chert he uses is pretty hard on a frizzen.

Buzzard, who made your rifle?

Tatume,
It's a Thompson Center Hawken with a Green Mountain barrel and a L & R lock. I also have a Lyman Great Plains kit I'm working on. It will have a L & R lock also.

I looked and found 2 flints for 11.00 in the size I needed,not really a good price for those unless I am looking at the wrong thing.Track of the Wolf has Tom Fuller flints for 2.00 a piece.
