ill admit i have . in fact i would probably state with most certainty that allot of us cut our teeth on such rifles .
I have worked on a lot of CVA and Traditions rifles through the years and still do . Im not to proud to admit it . Work is work and im not going to turn it down .
The conversion to flint isn’t that hard and it can be done despite what traditions tells you .
also if done right , the barrel will be converatable back to cap if you so desire
No need for a new barrel .
I seem to recall we have talked about the conversion a couple times on here . But its not something that gets talked about a lot and frankly crickets start to chirp when the topic is brought up.
