Lyman frizzen- I've been using cut Agate flints as I haven't bothered to source out any englich knapped flints yet. I just set the flints in and lay it up against the frizzen so that it touches the frizzen 1/2 up and tighten them down. They do throw good sparks, and there is never a problem with igniting the priming charge.
I appreciate the feedback. Everyone who has contributed to this discussion who actually has a Lyman Great Plains Flint rifle has not had the ignition problem mentioned in that article. That is very good news to me.
