I have a T/C Hawken rifle (kit gun) that was assembled in PA as a factory flintlock. I have always wanted to convert this rifle to percussion.
It would appear that to do so, one method would be to acquire a T/C percussion lock/hammer and I see those on ebay. Then I believe I would need a T/C snail barrel plug to take a nipple. Those seem very difficult to obtain.
Track of the Wolf lists them...... out of stock. T/C apparently will not sell them according to online chatter.
Am I on the right path for this, or should I look at a drum nipple arrangement?
The T/C rifles were pretty common (many neglected) on the used racks when inlines came out, but I do not see them as much anymore. I suppose I could watch for a used rifle for parts, but I suspect I've missed the boat on that.
