Default Need Advice on Purchasing Flintlock?

Hello,

I have some time off the next two weeks and really wanted to get out Flintlock hunting for Whitetails. I didn't get a chance to hunt during Rifle season and have a couple tags left.

Anyway, I got rid of the T/C .50 Caliber Firestorm I had. After years with that gun I found using 65-70 grains of BP and either a Buffalo Ball-ette or patch & RB did the trick. I never did get use to the rear sight on that gun but found the Lock incredibly reliable and really liked the removable Breach Plug for cleaning. That flintlock ALWAY'S fired for me.

HERE'S MY QUESTION:

What other Brand Flintlock's are similar to the Firestorm? It would need to have a quality LOCK and removable Breach Plug? A better rear sight would also be nice.

I still have my Box of Black Powder supplies so I'm not starting from scratch. Any and all advice appreciated. I need to purchase a Flintlock ASAP.
