Percussion to Flint Question
I have the opportunity to trade for a TC Hawken .50 1/48 twist in percussion. It belongs to a good friend of mine-in fact, he brought it to me to refinish the stock and polish the barrel and brass so it’s in dandy shape.
My question is this: Would I be able to convert it to a flintlock by simply swapping to a flint barrel and replacing the lock? Or is there something w/the triggers or stock design that will prevent you from making the switch? I’ll probably make the trade anyway but I’d like to convert it if possible.
Also, did TC ever make a .54 in flint that will drop into them? Green Mtn only shows a .50 right now.
