This winter's Minnesota muzzle-loader deer season I took my Cabelas' Hawken .54 flinter out for several days of still-hunting over a three-week period. Left the charge in the barrel throughout, just emptied the pan after each hunt.
After the last day I shot out the charge, took the gun into the house to clean it.
When I pulled out the ramrod the barrel fell out of the stock! Sometime over that period I had lost the barrel wedge. Never found it.
Has this happened to others or am I the first to experience this?
Have a new one on order from Track of the Wolf.
Thanks for any reply.
