Ok so I'm planning out my next rifle to build ,All I've ever shot and owned have been flinters and I know when them you get what you pay for as cheap locks generally only cause frustration . Been toying with the idea of this next one being a percussion as they are always less expensive for starters than a good flint lock . My question is can a cheaper percussion lock like a cva / Lyman /TC do just a good job as a chambers / L&R ect ? I understand what makes a good flint lock but what's the differences in the percussion locks a big hammer hitting the cap on that nipple should be the same if it's a 60 buck or a 120 buck lock ? Thoughts ?
