I've got a Hawkins style that I pieced together from parts on Ebay. Got a Thompson flint lock cheap, was listed as blackpowder parts with a bag of misc. screws and a pewter nosecap. It's fast but finicky and I usually get only 5 or 6 shots before changing out the flint and reknapping the old one. I ended up with 1 percussion Hawkins style, flinter Hawkins, and a Kentucky style flinter for a total investment of $350. I had gotten a Cabela's kit for Xmas many years ago that started me on the journey into the dark side and eventually flinters..
