Traditions Hawken perc to flint?

[akroguy]

Santa was so kind as to leave a .50 perc. Traditions Hawken kit under the tree this year. I already have a perc. GPR and would like to convert the Traditions kit to flint. Has anyone done this? Would it be just a matter of removing the nipple drum and replacing with a touchhole insert? Any flint locks out there that would fit the same mortise? Traditions would probably have what I need but maybe there is a higher grade lock elsewhere that would be a viable option.

Thanks!

Nah, after further review, I'll just keep it stock. It'll never be a GPR, so I'll just stain and brown it and call it good!
