The touch hole “bushings” that come from TC are ready to go and need no further modification on your part. They are .070 and the hex serves well as a cone. The inside is good to go also.
Considering everything, I believe them to be the beat you can buy for any flintlock. :thumbsup:

The worst touch hole liner is Lyman GPR's! :td:
For some unknown reason Lyman has not seen fit to upgrade it's TC copied flintlock parts. Maybe if TC stops producing side locks Lyman will do an upgrade. :wink:

See rmcsports.com.

They offer a liner for the Lyman that has the hex cone and comes with an allen wrench. Thread is M6x.75. Works fine for me.

Yes they do and I have some. Very good. :thumbsup:

They don't have that preconceived notion that TC is supposed to be junk, like you may have concluded from reading this forum.

:yakyak: :dead:

I hope they are not junk because I have one coming as a Xmas gift. My New Englander has certainly been a good gun for the last 20 years. My father picked up a used flinter and shot it the other day, seemed to be just fine. That is the one I will probably be getting for Xmas. First time delving into the world of flintlocks, so this gun is very appropriate before dropping thousands on a custom when I may not even like it. Like the trad bows I shoot, I bought a lot of inexpensive used ones before I figured out what I liked and wanted before I started dropping a few hundred $ on custom bows.
