I'm just looking for an easy, down and dirty, working flinter. I've done the build thing, starting with stock blank and going the whole way on a pre-Revolutionary Lancaster pattern gun, but I'm looking for something a bit more handy to chase Bambi. Just can't get into inline guns. No soul. I'm not put off by Thompson's stocks. I think they look nice, even if they're not exactly historical.
Thanks for the information on the L & R locks. I'm not afraid of doing some fine-tuning on the inletting. I was just wanting the lock plate to fit. I'm also (obviously) hoping the flashpan will match up properly with the touch hole on Green Mountain barrels.
