Johnny Reb,
You have gotten some good responses.
I own several T/C and two Cabela's flintlocks and are all are reliable. A flinter takes a bit more attention to detail than a caplock for reliability. I suggest you use sharp flints, polish the frizzen with crocus cloth to keep it smooth, put two or three drops of oil occasionally on the lockwork and use a paper clip to keep the touch hole clear for reliable spark transfer to the main charge. My experience has been that T/C and Cabela's flintlocks are reliable commensurate with attention to detail.
Hope this helps.
Adam
