Abstract
The action of a flintlock mechanism used for firing rifles, pistols, and similar devices, whereby a flint or flintstone is normally used for igniting of the flashpan powder, is benefitted by the conversion of the flintlock mechanism to a matchlock mechanism by the incorporation of a matchlock convertor with use of a phosphorus match or matches for the purpose of igniting the flashpan powder.
