I have a Trad Mtn Rifle in percussion that I purchase a few years ago and it has just been sitting there. Havent gotten around to shooting it yet. I got it as I had heard that they were great shooters and I purchased it at a good price. Now I am thinking of using it, but in the mean time I have become more of a rock chucker. So the question is...Has anyone done this and was it worth it OR would I be better just selling it and buying the flinter version.
 
L&R lock company makes locks for CVA and Traditions if you don't already have one. Don't know the price on a flint lock but I'm thinking about getting the cap lock for my CVA Hawken. It's just a couple hundred bucks. Those barrels are good enough to make that new lock worth the investment. Replace the drum with a liner and yer all set.

Edit: it is pretty simple and straightforward with a CVA so I assume it should be the same with a Trad. Not sure.
 
How you make the change will likely void any warranty on the Tradition's rifle.

The L&R flint lock is a much better lock than the Tradition's flint lock.

Look at the postings on the CVA/ Traditions breeches to see the complicated through breech construction of the drum to see why many of us don’t recommend such conversions.
