RE: ML for small frame adult
Look for an "American Knight" by Knight Rifles.
It is an entry level muzzleloader that is only about one inch longer than a Remington youth model 20 gauge shotgun. The American Knight is also very light and easy to carry.
I saw them on sale at Walmart recently for about $120.
I owned one. In fact I just sold it last week. It was an excellent shooter and very reliable. I scoped it with a leupold 3x9 Vari-X II.
I shot a groundhog with it at approx 140 yards last year.
