Man I'm have trouble finding 3/4" french ambers.
 Ordered 5/8" from heritage products and was just told they are also out of stock.
 I can order a grand total of 1 flint from kibler.  Not happening.
 All the others suppliers are as much at 12-14$ for 2 FA flints.
 Man what the hell is going on.
  I see folks knapping there own but a flint rock ain't cheap either .
 I may have to build a matchlock .  ;banghead; Until rope is unavailable
 Done crying .

Have you tried Tony Roberts at Mountain Top Trading?  I bought a few from him last year and it is amazing how much fire is stored in them.  But I wasn't too impressed with his English flints.  I might have gotten a couple of sparks out of each trigger pull.  He is in Washington.
My next place to look would be The Gun Works in Springfield, OR.

Looked last night, Didn't see any flints listed, I was thinking a run over to Colfax might be fun.
 I guess I could call
 I probably have 18-20 amber and English flints on hand just trying to stockpile more in case they disappear.
 I may try knapping my own but that's a whole nuther thing.

Did you try Stonewall Creek Outfitters? It's worth a shot. I know I was disappointed in what I found at  Ft. Frederick. I bought 3 French amber, 3/4" flints from one individual for $9.00+tax. I've seen better looking shale than most of the flints I looked at. That was on Friday, and it started Thurs. so I was probably a day late. ;banghead;

KDubs:
well son of a gun, I went back to TOTW and viola 3/4 french ambers for 2.40 ea. 
ordered 12 for now .
