Looking for a Canadian source for flints

[Kalinka]

I’ll keep it simple. I’m wondering where all sources for flints are in Canada. I got a few from rusty wood, wondering if there’s anymore retailers around selling them too because I don’t see any. I’m just curious where everyone sources their flints from in Canada for ease of shipping and import fees

Canada is like Cuba. Barely anything made in house anymore, most is imported. Good luck

It's probably easier to buy bulk English flints...from England? Free shipping...if we could coordinate a bulk order...

After the end of August, there's some sort of trade embargo (Trump tariffs?) that will result in this guy not being able to sell to the AMERICAN MARKET. Invariably he'll be looking for another market?

You could try Shooters Choice in Waterloo.

Don't even ask yourself who is the best.
Dutrieux from France ships here at very god prices.
Best quality blond stones in the world.
My Fuller's are a pity besides.
On my Pedersoli Brown Bess, the stone lasted for 102 shots.

At Stoney Creek last month a group of reenactors had a stone block size of a small car tire and they were splinting pieces to proper shapes/angles and more. Then selling $5 a piece. At Orangeville gun show yesterday Brown Bess flints were selling for 10-15 dollars each. Its out there.

I've located and brought home 50 lbs of chert and am committed to trying my hand at making them. In the video Will Lord is working with some beautiful English stone. The stuff I've found is not that. The chert is lumpy, fractured, inconsistently coloured (stripped or mottled black/grey), but I am convinced it can be worked into gun flints. I doubt I'll get 102 shots out of it, but I am no longer flint poor. I also have casting lead on hand, and am only dependent on powder.
