I have my new one coming, maybe Tuesday. Just wondering what size Flint to order? I was hoping it was the same as my Traditions 50 Cal Trapper, which is a 5/8 inch.
 
Well I got my new Lyman Trade Rifle today and its not a 5/8 flint like my Traditions pistol. Double ended saw cut and pretty thick, looks to be 5/8 x 3/4 the spec's say .6 x .8 x .2 thick. I have some spares ordered. Pretty impressed with the rifle, and it included a cleaning jag attachment and a extra rear sight with elevation adjustment that I will install instead of the fixed one on the gun.
Now to make sure my patches and the rest are ready for the next range visit!
 
Just ordered a assortment of flints and other needed supplies from Track of the Wolf today. They are within driving distance from me here in Iowa just a road trip to Minn. but its coming via USPS.
