Flint and sidelocks are almost non-existant in the big chain stores. I was up north for a family visit and enjoy shopping Cabelas in Dundee MI. I have purchased several muzzleloaders from them and been happy with quality and service. This past trip no flint or sidelocks were on the display wall. They had one used Pedersoli Bess and a .36 Blue Ridge , both with rust and dings for new prices. They were out of Goex in 2 and 3 ffg. Yet, they had a wall full of plastic stocked inlines :barf: . Is this a sign of the coming "next generation " muzzleloading" hunters? If the old rule of ... out of sight, out of mind .... holds true, we are a dying breed.
