What I really like is the Black Ice Coating (teflon), protects the exterior of all the metal parts of the gun and doesn't add to heat build up in the barrel... I just wipe it down; clean up the plug, vent liner, and threads (all I use these days is yellow or pick teflon tape); clean up the barrel and give a quick oiled patch... done! That is about as sweet as it shoots... no third pillar or even bedding. I do use the pocampo EZ Tool to get the plug out with out breaking down the rear stock screw and taking out the bolt.
It has replaced (shock, horror) my Whites (S91 and M98) as my go to muzzleloader...
