I see what your saying. I'm in the UK and here Pinfires can be kept off ticket if they are not going to be shot.

The barrels are very lightweight anyway and on top of that are a bit thin so i don't think its worth converting it to the be forced to put it on ticket and to still only be able to use light black powder loads in it. If i were going to put it on ticket i would rather enjoy shooting it as it were made and intended.

They are back action locks which are fairly easy to replace by carefully cutting and replacing the wood around the head of the stock and re in letting for the new locks.

All i shall have to do will be to get a set of back action locks, all the better if they have similar engraving, fit replacement hammer castings, and fit the locks; i may have to do some alterations to the tumbler if there is no half cock notch.
