I also have a small tin with pre-cut leather pieces for when I change the flint, and spare flints, and a slim screwdriver to undo the hammer screw that holds the flint.
I also take a pistol rod with me with a brush on to clean out the bore if need to, and a brass ramrod as I do not use the one with the gun.
cheers enfield2band
hat pin a good idea ,do you use a pan primer? some may say not to use at the firing point, others not bothered ?
what sort of thickness leather do you use.
