Steve;
You would be money ahead to buy a good custom, or semi-custom, flintlock rifle, and leave the Kentuckian as it is. Your rifle is a pretty faithful copy of an early H.E.Leman, and as such, is popular with some entry level re-enactors.I have seen several of these guns rawhide wrapped, and heavily tacked, at primitive events. They look pretty good. Their locks aren't that good, and their rifling is pretty shallow. TTYL.

: Hi steve and welcome. I can't currently find
: any info about your gun. I'm sure it's in
: top shape but Euroarms of America is no
: longer offering that model. There are really
: no conversion "kit's" per say.
: Almost any perc gun can be converted too
: flint and vise versa. It's just a simple
: matter of changing the $150-200 lock and
: having the $ 40-100 breech plug replaced by
: a good gunsmith. Gunsmith's charge about $60
: per hour and this would be about a 3-4 hour
: job.
: If it's a drum breech and a common lock,
: you might be able save a few buck's, got a
: photo of the lock/section part of the gun?
