GPR Flint

[5oclocksomewhere]

New to this forum and using a flintlock. I just ordered a Lyman flintlock GPR .54 in kit form and was wondering what size flints do I need to order and where is the best place to order? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum!

I use 3/4 inch Black English Flints in my Lyman locks. You can also use cut stone flints.

I hear lately the English Flint supply is low so you might have trouble finding them.

The Lymans take a 3/4" flint and they can be ordered from Track Of the Wolf or Cains Outdoors. But you might contact Rich Pierce here from the forum as he makes and sells American made flints at a reasonable price and of good quality.

Unfortunately, TOW is out of the right size of flints.
I have some on backorder. Won't be available until November.
