Well I finally had to change out my 48 shot flint after it delivered 36 more shots in my L&R Lock, so I got 84 total shots out of this flint - and that ain't bad at all!!!  :bl th up

Now one may think I'm done with this flint, but I'm not... It'll get a little reshaping and I'll continue using it in one of my smaller locks, such as the L&R John Bailes, or a Lyman lock... It ain't over 'til it's over...  :bl th up
