They are still on the shelf as far as I know kb1.

When I first saw them I told the sporting goods manager that they would probably be sold before the store closed that night. He said "no way - I marked them down over a month ago. We've sold only three muzzle loaders the entire year". This is because last year Louisiana went from a "muzzle loader" season to a "primitive weapons" season that allows many models of single shot cartridge rifles. All of the once-a-year hunters are buying NEF 45-70s instead of muzzle loaders. I'm sure they will stop carrying MLs and ML supplies.

I just might go there after Christmas and offer him $100 each for both of them.
