I have not had any luck finding a Deerstalker in .50 flinock. I started looking at a barrel and lock to just use on my Caprock version. Prices for parts are more expensive than the whole gun. I guess the market for these is tight.
Check out Investarms website. They still make the models they made for Lyman and sell them under their own models and label. From there you may be able to find one. Unless not saying Lyman is a deal breaker that is.I have not had any luck finding a Deerstalker in .50 flinock. I started looking at a barrel and lock to just use on my Caprock version.

I hear ya on the fiber sights. If you blow that image up the front sight is a dovetail. You have to go back many a year (decades) to find one with a dovetailed rear but different standard sights can be had for one or a dovetail can be cut into the barrel if desired. Several discussions on how to go about that on here.Sadly, I hate the new guns with the fiber optic sights. I am looking for an older gun that has the dovetail sight cuts in the barrel.
I do see that they carry the locks.
A flintlock barrel still eludes me.
Thanks
I got carried away with that last post. My original point was that the sights can be changed and in order to get an Investarms factory barrel that has dovetailed front and rear sights you have to go back decades. And they rear sight on the Deerstalkers may not ever have been dovetailed like some of the others were.The price of a barrel and lock puts me at $499 before shipping and taxes. No savings but might be the only option. Or just keep shooting my old T/C Hawken
