I have a 36 cal percussion gun built for me by Jack Garner in Corinth Miss. I got it this summer. Tenn rifle, 36" Rice barrel, L+R Lock, Davis style triggers, shoots like a laser with 20 gr 3f 777. He mostly builds flinters so I asked him if I could get a touchhole liner and a flintlock that would fit the lock mortise that was already there and convert to flint if I wanted to try it. He said "sure" told me the lock (L+R also) and liner that I would need and he keeps them in stock. Now I know that I will need to shoot real black in a flintlock, so I don't want to have that conversation, but I want to hear from you flintlock enthusiasts about the pitfalls, advantages, etc of owning and managing a flinter. I've never had, or shot one. I have been muzzle loading since the '60's in one shape or form. Never a flinter tho!
