Bruce, you don't need to buy another gun. Your Pedersoli Frontier caplock is easily converted to a flinter by replacing the drum and nipple with a touch hole liner and replacing the percussion lock with a flint lock. Both lock and liner are available from Track of The Wolf.

The lock plate fit perfectly on my Frontier, but required removal of a tiny bit of wood in the lock mortise to clear slightly larger screws on the flint lock. You will be able to switch the gun back and forth between caplock and flintlock at will.

LOCK: http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Catego...m=LOCK-LR-06-F

TOUCH HOLE LINER*: http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Catego...rtNum=THL-DP-S

* I recommend the touch hole liner from RMC. Use the link below, click on "Black Powder Shooting Accessories" in the menu on the left side of the page, then on "Nipples, 209 Adapters, Touch Hole Liners", then scroll down to the touch hole liners section to Item ML187.

Now, if you must have another gun (always a good idea anyway) I recommend a .54 Lyman Great Plains. I really like mine, and it feels better at the shoulder to me than the Frontier.
