    Complete noob to muzzleloading.

    If only it was a smoothbore... IDK about the rifle, I'm not saying it isn't good, but it's a rifle. I'm more looking for a shotgun. I think the lock of the flintlock would be easy enough to modify to take match, I wouldn't really have to do anything else. But still, it's like buying an Ikea...

    Thanks to all who replied, glad I asked before I did it! I was going to use a threaded pipe and put a cap on it. Guess I'll look into buying a decent used one. I've seen some but they were in bad condition, so I ask- Can I use these as a building block? Remove rust, clean, degrease, re-blue...

    Complete noob to muzzleloading.

    I recently was refinishing a modern firearm and thinking about the next deer season. My state is supposed to be extending the muzzle loader season by a week, taking a week out of the bow season. Naturally, as a sportsman, I wish to capitalize on this. Having wanted to get a muzzleloader for...
