To convert a flintlock to percussion all you have to do is drill out the flinter's touchhole and thread it for that little gizmo. Remove the flint cock and replace it with a percussion style hammer and "Robert's yer Fathers Brother".
Often cheap reproduction percussion arms are made that way from the get-go; - savin' money!
Phil; do you have a flintlock that needs modernizing
