Cool, now I can be a Civil War reenactor as well as a RevWar one, with the same darn gun!!!

Interesting but a device that might turn my flintlock into a blender so I could make myself margaritas might be more appealing. Just about as ridiculous too.

Shouldn't this be in the Jokes Anyone Forum ?

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

I would love to give it a try, all the same.

Steam punk yer rock lock. In the words of ole Dave, " it will add VERSATILITY for the common man"

Begs the question....why?

 

[1950DAVE]

Now, why didn’t think of that. What an innovation. I’ll bet the inventor will make millions.

 

[SDSmlf]

I’ve seen the ‘ad’ before and would bet it’s been posted here at least half a dozen times over the years. Real question, how many were actually sold, let alone used?

 

[mckutzy]

Why???
A good question...an example

My flintlock has been having some issues, for the last few years. The frizzen needs to be repaired and due to the screws location I can't remove easily.
I needed a gun to fire, I had another caplock with a broken sear, so a swap of the hammers and a little jig to make. Had a couple of nipples and caps.
I used exactly the example above, but created in Aluminum as an prototype.
It worked exactly above, honestly it worked out pretty good. It just doesn't look good,
I didn't need a "vent hole", it worked fine without.
