Just curious if anyone out there has converted a CVA hawken from a caplock to a flintlock,and if so,what components did you use ?
I've seen it being done on YouTube but they never say,as far as I know,what components they use.

Probably be easier to buy another rifle that's already a rock basher PLUS you get another rifle! :-)
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.
