The only two muzzleloaders I own. so far, are both CVAs. Never had a problem with either one of them - other than the BS sights supplied. This Wakeman guy - IMHO, doesn't know his a## from a hole in the ground. Without a doubt, he is in the back pocket of someone's britches. I've taken the time (wasted) to read some of his so called "articles" - nothing but double standards and contridictions. From what I've been able to deduce, the so called barrel explosion was not a result of a bad barrel, but from some idiot neophyte exceeding the company recommended load (ie: 150 gr loose powder rather than 100 gr loose powder). Too bad so many people in this country can not comprehend what they read and the legal tort system has gotten so out of hand.

Sorry for the rant, but it just really pisses me off. [:@]
