hunterdn78,
Yea... and you would pay through the ying-hole for them so don't bother! I have a PA Hunter flintlock and a Firestorm flintlock. The locks are the same and the guts on these locks are the same as a Hawken or Renegade. MY advise if you're not comfortable disassembling your lock and honing and de-burring all the bearing surfaces with stones and needle files is to have your gunsmith do it for you. All you need is a nice clean break without the creep. I have done a number of my own locks but, I was a machinist all of my life and had done that type of work previously.
The PA hunter was designed as a single trigger (with oversized trigger guard) rifle to accommodate the use of gloves by the hunter during Pennsylvania's late ML season after Christmas when the temps can be VERY cold. It was also designed with a round ball twist of 1:66 because that's all that was legal for use at the time the PA hunter rifles hit the market.
I bought my Firestorm flintlock for $200 used but in excellent condition because the guy absolutely HATED the trigger pull it had...there's nothing wrong with those single trigger systems, sometimes they just need a little lock tuning.
