Good looking rifle. Sounds like you had a good day at the range.

I've tried my darndest to convert this stock to a Flintlock, but there is just enough variance in the tolerances where the tang is positioned and the lock mortise is cut, that when I drop in a Flint lock and a Flint barrel, the vent is almost at the rear edge of the pan.
I converted another Cougar whose stock is almost as nice...for example if we called the caplock stock a "10", the one I converted to a Flintlock (below) would be an "8.5" or "9", and it converted just fine...
