Flintlock conversion

[russellshaffer]

I saw this on Ebay this morning. Don't holler at me, I'm just posting this for entertainment.

Tired of practicing or sighting in with your flintlock? This device fires first time, every time! Converts Thompson Center (or clone) flintlock muzzleloader to percussion cap. No delay, fast locktime. No gunsmithing required. Easily installed or removed with supplied allen wrench. Precision machined from Stainless Steel barstock. Made in U.S.A. patent pending.
Pa. residents add 6% sales tax. (59.95 +3.60 = 63.55)

Interesting!

I bet it's not as reliable as a plain caplock with that pile of rocks clamped in the cock, but cheaper than switching out barrel and lock.

That’s been around for years with no price change. Wonder how many sold and were actually used.

This won't help much, but this is my conversion from flint to percussion. It's an L&R Manton lock with the plug in the jaws and the pan has been ground off the lock. This looks a lot more elegant that the T/C version above. I also have a flint lock and touch hole liner for the rifle. I like the flint version better.
