I've been reading on this forum for some time trying to decide what direction to go for a Black Powder long arm for hunting. The choices seem to be virtually endless so I'll try to keep this to a specific point. Caplock vs. Flintlock. Particularly if the Caplock is "Safer" for use in the field. Can you make a loaded flint lock truely safe without firing off the charge. Would a loaded cap lock with the caps removed and hammer down be considered safe? How do you make your muzzleloader "Safe" in the field?
What would be some specific safety concerns to consider before taking to the field other than the common and accepted safety rules for firearms in general?
