I don't think there is a problem with me making my own for my own use, but what if I wanted to sell them? Its known that BATF draws the line between primitive weapons, and modern BP, needs approval for purchase because it doesn't use a nipple and musket caps, but a #209 to do the ignition. This is an item that TC, who made the gun as a dual convertible ignition model in the first place, will not supply.
