Flints we have. I still have a stock of Tom Fuller's flints from before he retired. We have 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1" and 1 1/8".

Going through your C&R rifle list, I have the P17, a Gehehr 88, an M91 Mosin, and an assortment of Enfields. The Enfields include a Lithgow 1941 #1, a Long Branch #4, a Farkarzy jungle carbine, and an Ishapore grenade launcher #1. The coolest Enfield I have though, is a Swift Training Rifle, which is a mechanical trainer that teaches a trainee how to hold the rifle properly. (good idea for a blog post)

Can't have too many C&R rifles!
