Any site sponsors sell Flint?

Hahaha, I just looked up marstar, what a RIP off. I hadn't been there in a while.....

$27 and $35 for 5 flints each.

Go to dixie gun works in the states, order a bunch from them and with shipping it will be cheaper than an order of flints at marstar.
That BS there is just F-ing ridiculous, no wonder some things here in Canada are going out of style.

There are a couple of other black powder suppliers here in Canada, sadly I cannot recall.
 
That was the other place I was trying top remember about that one. I haven't got any personal experience with them but they are also good.

I agree totally with lyman54, Track of the Wolf sells Tom Fuller's English Gun Flints which I find to be excellent flints and depending on the size they are $1.65 to $2.19 each.
 
You actually don't need flint for sparks, I learned its the sharp edge of the rock scraping off pieces of steel that causes the spark. This means you can use any rock with a sharp edge. Petrified wood and amber work really well, chert, obsidian, etc. Just something strong with a sharp edge, don't waste your money. Go for a walk and break rocks until you find sharp edges.
 
I buy mine from Track of the Wolf too..... Just browsing their website is enough to put a smile on your face. I bought my Great plains from them, loads of smoky fun.
