would an paper clip or other thin metal and use piece of dowel rod has an handle work? Yep it will work just fine.

really early for this question but...........
I know the main thing about flintlocks is "USE REAL BLACK POWDER". but would an pryodex p pan charge work? I have goex 2f I can use as the main charge. So-so. You still need the real 4f BP for the pan. You're much better off with real black powder though.
Corey you really need to pick up both the 348 and 405gr Powerbelts for that Plainsman flinter. Them suckers with 70gr 3F goex would do some scary chit at 100 yards group wise in my old plainsman i had!
