Hi guys
I have a flintlock charleville 1777 and I love it, however I want to get into civil war reenacting and a flintlock is generally not PC for 1860s. I don't really want to sell or trade it so I was thinking if its still possible to convert the flintlock to percussion at home like they would have done in the past. How would you do it, if you could even at all? I'm aware of all the different conversion methods and I was thinking the drum and nipple /colt conversion would be easiest? It was just a thought thats been sitting in my head for a while and I want to know what more experienced people think
any comments or thoughts are greatly appreciated
