tc big boar in 58cal., any one else use one

[eastbank]

i have a tc big boar and realy like it, does any one else have and use one? i,m thinking about converting it to flint useing a breech plug and lock from a 54 renagade and the 54 stock with the double triggers. i have swapped the 58 barrel and cap lock into the 54 flint lock renagade stock and it fit perfect and the double set triggers worked. eastbank.

I had one before moving on to the 8bore great rifle, don't know about going over to flint, you don't see many of the Big Bores out there, you could allways give Track of the Wolf a call and talk with them,they more than likely would have the parts needed

Do I understand correctly that you intend to pull the breechplug from two T/C barrels and switch them?  If so, that is not so easy as it  may seem. T/C breechplugs are infamously tight, it's almost impossible to remove them without damage. Then if you got them out and switched them there is about zero chance that the flats of the plugs would line up with the flats of the barrels. Rumor has it that Green Mountain is once again producing their famous drop-in replacement barrels and if you can find what you want I think you'd be way ahead. Or perhaps sell one or both T/C's and buy the rifle you hope to make.

plus one on changing breach plugs they are really hard to get off.
