I was looking through an old thread from '19 (LINK) and a guy mentioned that his Pedersoli Kentucky flintlock had a flat face breech instead of the typical patent breech. Can someone verify that this is the case on the guns that are available now? Pedersoli is too busy answer questions.
 
I just converted a percussion Kentucky rifle from Pedersoli to flintlock and I can assure you that it has that patent breech. It's not a brand new production gun but it's not that old either. I got it second hand so I don't know exactly how old it is. It's a really good shooter though.
I ordered the lock and vent from Pedersoli and they use the same breech for both percussion and flintlock. The factory vent is a direct replacement for the percussion drum.

It is a flat faced breach.
I've posted the problems with his rifle before. To many to list again.
On the positive it did feel nice in the hands. And not as long as the three kiblers I've put together. After my experience with italian rifle, metric sizes. And double the price quotes for replacement parts. Yup three Kiblers later all in 3 1/2 months. I have three good flintlocks and a forever project rifle. That may become percussion.
