Hey guys thanks for all the help. We ended up getting him a T/C Triumph with the hardwoods synthetic stock and stainless barrel from cabelas... Not sure if the knife they are sending with it will make it into the present wrapping,lol.... tx, what exactly is a conical bullet so I can advise him from using them. If you couldn't tell I am not familiar with ML's at all....
Excellent choice. A conical is a bullet without a sabot basically, usually all lead and usually in slower twist rifles like a caplock that shoot ML caps not 209 primers. Inlines shoot "in line" with the bore, side locks shoot on the side of the breech, flint locks are side locks that shoot with a piece of stone for ignition. Chap Gleason
