how much trouble to convert BACK to flint?
1local antique shop has a model 1816 smoothbore musket in fair shape at a fair price, converted to percussion at some point. if it was flint it would be adequate to finish up the early end of my collection (US standard issue long guns) assuming i could get a lock from DWG or TOTW or someplace, is it plausible to convert it back to flint? or should i just keep looking?
i'm retired. what's your excuse?
