Default I'm thinking of getting a flintlock.

I've been shooting percussion lock rifles my whole muzzle loading career. Now
I have an urge to try my luck at the flintlock way of life. I found a Lyman
Trade rifle that will fit my budget. I wanted to askyou guys a few questions
before I made a purchase. 1st, Can I use Pyrodex P in the flash pan for an
ignition powder? I have some old Goex FFg I could crush maybe, but I doubtit wouldeven shoot. 2nd, How often do you have to change the liners at the touch hole, and for whatreasons would I have to change them? Should I order an extra liner with the gun? 3rd, Do you know what size flints the Lyman's use? Is thereone type or brand of flint preferred one over the other? How longwill a flint lastonaverage. Anything else
you think I should know, I'd be glad to hear it.

Thanks,
Blown Smoke
