Hi Norsk I think Kammerlader means breach loader ?
Being this is a muzzle loading forum so to be inline with our forum's rules would be best to restrict your photos & comments to muzzle loading firearms.
What drew me to join the Svartkrutt.net forum 2-3 years ago was an excellent video & writeup on the 1858 New Army Remington by the moderator & I was also interested if someone on the forum had more information on my Danish percussion Jaeger built by I.C. Haugaard in Kiobenhaven.
I've enjoyed seeing photos of the rendezvous type black powder shoots & firearms posted on the Svartkrutt.net forum website & noticed what we call muzzleloaders are referred to as 'mouthloaders'.
Bottom line we all share some common historical interests as many of the firearms used in our American Revolution & Civil War came from several different European nations & continues to today.
Best regards,
Relic shooter

Yes you are right.

Kammerlader means breach loader. They are loaded with loose powder and shot which is rammed into the chamber before it is swiveled into position after a cap placed on the nipple.

I'm somewhat familiar with the early pre-cartridge breech loading firearms your referring to. Their components loaded in a chamber similar to our civil war era cap & ball revolvers & have seen some even earlier U.S & European flintlock firearms that used similar methods to breech load... Once had a Browning family friend who showed me a percussion multi-shot rifle that Browning invented with a harmonica type magazine thats pictured below. A cam lever pushed & sealed the chamber into to a matching machined recess in the barrel.
Maybe our forum moderator will page in & comment if I've overstepped forum rules by showing the photo example of this rifle.
P.S.
The mountain & vegetation pictures you posted look very same as what we see in several of our Northwestern mountain States.

Another shooter from Oklahoma says 'welcome'. Some of my ancestors emigrated from Norway.
