RE: Report on Advice
That kind of threw me as well, Sabotloader.. he was talking about a side lock and then a breech plug. Then leaving the bolt open, which I took for granted was the hammer. Perhaps he simply has a inline rifle instead of a side lock.
I was wondering if he had two different rifles as I know of no CVA traditional sidelock that uses a removable breech plug. Now Traditions does have a traditional rifle, the PA Pellet that you can remove the breech plug.
