RE: new muzzle loader
Another option in the break open style is the NEF Sidekick. Usually there are some in the Gander Montain , Cabelas type stores. I have a Huntsman which is almost the same rifle and I think it is quite nice. It requires a plastic primer carrier which some like and some do not. I converted mine to use 25ACP brass with small rifle primers. Also the ramrod is rather wimpy but can be replaced with a similar one that is very good from a guy that makes them out of solid naval brass ($25 delivered). I have one and love it. It is also an American made rifle with an American company to support it if you need help.
