I ordered some last week by e mail but have not gotten them yet nor have I gotten a confirmation that my order was received. I look forward to trying them if they do indeed come.

Mark, if you told him the size you need and gave him your address, they'll be there, along with a bill.  If they fit your need...send him the payment...if they don't...just send them back.  Great way to do business with someone huh?  I don't remember getting anything from Rich telling me that he rec'vd my order...the flints have just shown up inn my mail.  FWIW, they work better in some of my locks than in others...but they do work.  Hope they work out for you.

Thanks, I look forward to trying them. That is indeed a gentleman's way of doing business. That kind of trust is not common these days.

Just got mine today. No more hangfires. These flints are sparky for sure. They are awesome.

I got my second dozen white river rocks from Mr. Pierce last week.  I think it took about 3 weeks to get them.  Probably less.  I wasn't chomping at the bit to get them.  I have had nothing but good luck with these flints.  They are sparky to be sure.  I have installed them on my four flintlocks of varying make and quality.  I have given some away to other shooters on the range who were suffering with non sparkers.  Mr. Pierce is a first rate businessman.  He sends you the flints for your trial and approval before he accepts your payment.  If you don't like them, send them back on your dime.  He also includes an interesting information sheet detailing his process for harvesting and knapping these flints.

If you're looking for a sparky flint at a reasonable price, these are your rocks.

My real job, lots of orders, snow on the ground and November back surgery set me back a little.  I certainly dropped some orders when I was hurting pre- and immediately post-surgery, so if your order got dropped, please contact me again at longtrekflints@gmail.com.  I'm healthy and happy post-surgery, but there's still snow on the ground and work is still pressing me.  So as noted, I'm still running 20 or 25 dozen behind.  Doing my best to catch up.  Meanwhile if you run short, try the English flints that Stonewall Creek Outfitters sell.  Theirs are the best and most consistent English flints I've seen.
