Been shooting muzzle loaders since about 1980 and went all flintlock in1990.
Looking forward to talking about flintlocks with all of you.

I bought a Seneca in 1978, I have both cap and flint. Georgia here.

tell me about that please

I used the original lockplate and fitted a small siler pan, frizzen, frizen spring, and hammer to it. Since I don’t have any expertise at fitting a breech plug to a barrel, I had a friend do it for me.
He installed a 32 inch 40 cal barrel. I’ve heard of other folks doing this but have never seen one.

Were the small Siler and associated parts designed for a conversion,or did you figure it out by yourself? My Seneca could use a rebarreling too.

 

[EZ1]

I just figuring out. The two locks are similar size but different shapes lock plates. That’s why I used the parts from the siler and the plate from the TC

 

[powdermeasure]

I'm going to be busy for a while on this Kibler tha'ts in the mail. Later on I may jump on a flint conversion for that Seneca.
