    .454 use in .45 or .50 Flintlock.

    I think your going to make shooting your gun a whole lot less like fun and a lot more like work hammering the 454s down your barrel, and could be turning it into a bomb if you leave any air space between powder and ball, because of build up of lead and powder rez, just don't sound like a safe...

    Converting from perc. to flint?

    The caplock hawkin rifle you have, I think has a patent breech, and you cant use a flintlock with that breech, you will need a barrel made for that type of lock. The CVA guns have a drum and nipple, you can switch over at will with them, I just did that myself and have to say what a hoot :)...

The one I saw that a friend had gotten from them was just flat out manure ... they told him that he would have to drill the flash hole, and it would be good to go, well he did that, and put a flint in and pulled the trigger and no...
