    Hey, thanks for the addition info on why not to use lead wrapping. I'm using leather now, cause that's what I had. I'd been reading about lead wrap and it seemed to be "highly recommended" by a couple of folks, but not near all. Now I know the reason why not. Leather seems to be working just fine, so no reason to use lead. Again, sure glad this info was added or I would have wrapped the flint with lead.

    See, I'm STILL learning this stuff - and hope I never stop learning. Helps keep the old brain active and a LOT more fun than crossword puzzles.

    I use leather for most of my locks except the military ones (Tower, Harpers Ferry).
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    Sometimes we read an answer to a question and ......."jeez I am dumb - thats a no brainer " - easier to ask than think - is a sign of modern life - or the decay of modern society - or just lazy .......
    Thank you for your answer John Taylor

    Just switched mine to leather - we'll see if I have quicker lock time. Not that I'm complaining about the lock time now.
