This is the 1st that I've seen of it.
The cocks on older TC flinters had somewhat of a geometry problem which ate flints up pretty fast.
TC was issuing newly designed cocks for their older guns for a time but don't know if they still do or not.
If the ignition is relatively direct, then it's a win-win for TC flintlock owners.
It's still cheaper than buying a new barrel, and may relieve some flintlock shooters from what may be the burden of needing to basically only use BP.
Imagine a TC flinter being passed down along to a family member who doesn't like flinters, or isn't experienced enough, but is willing to shoot a cap gun.
And a device like that could save someone's hunting season.
Considering how easy it is to set off a cap, I don't see much risk of damage to the cock by using this device.
Thanks for sharing.
