I remember reading about a fur trading group that complained the powder they got was so bad they had to convert their guns to "detonators" ( the old term for percussion caps). So it was done in those times. :idunno: :idunno:

Mr. Morrison,
The link will not work, even from a PM. It's set up that way because it's from another forum.
Why not just start your own discussion about this very interesting topic?
Early conversions can be really interesting. To me the most interesting make use of the original flint cock with a steel brazed or soldered into the cock jaws.
I do know that Chambers has done at least one custom conversion to one of their Late Ketlands. I do believe this was for one of Jim Kibler's kits. The customer wanted percussion.
