Convert ANY flintlock to percussion for $60 …

[Garbear34]

I've seen that on ebay before. Been few years. I thought about trying it just see how or if it worked and how well. I have a tc firestorm flintlock.

When a flintlock is fired a jet of gas escapes through the touch hole. Using this device it appears that gas would be vented straight up, I'm assuming there is still the need for priming powder which would be ignited by the cap. If it does vent gas straight up it would be right in front of the shooters face. If so, that doesn't sound too good.

If it was invented 200yrs ago, it probably would have saved the demise of a lot of Flintlocks..

Now with cap issues an adaptor to easily turn a percussion into flintlock might be appealing.

It might come handy in the Zombie Apocalypse! I mean, who’s has time to dig for rocks when the hoards are approaching!! Appears to be a solution begging for a problem!!

On my device, I didn't need an prime, the cap was sufficient, nor was there any excessive vent blast not unlike any standard caplock.

Well, I regularly shoot my caplock, and my flinter seldom. Guess I'll swim against the current and say I find this to be an extremely interesting item. It appears well made and for $60 seems like a good deal. Do I want one, will I buy one?, no, but let's applaud the inventor for his invention.

My buddy has one and it works. Still not legal for late season PA deer.

Well, if caps ever get back down to a nickel apiece and available at a whim, its not a bad idea.
