Ram rods threaded 1/4 20 and the jags to go with it.
Who decided that 10-32 was the way to go any who?

I would like TC come out with a Firestorm that has the capability to switch from 209/musket/#11 primers. Add the new breech plug from their Triumph, offer a walnut stock option along with optional barrel twists. All the engineering has already been done by TC in various previous models they produced over the years. Get it together in onepackage so the consumer can adaptto meet the requirments of any state he/she cares to hunt in. I would also like to see all in-line rifles adapt toa Triumph like no tools breech plug (if it works as claimed) to eliminatethe dreaded frozen/stuck breech plug.

More traditional rifles in more calibers than just 50cal. I would like to see more traditional 54cal rifles.

I would parallel what Steve said plus would like to see a trend back toward high quality instead of cheaper designs... I think we are starting to see more and more rifles that are designed to be throw-aways.

Triggers that are adjustable within a useful range would be a real plus.

Barrels with consistent and nicely done riflling - elimination of QLA type accuracy killers. Calibers that are a reflection of the true bore measurements, not just something "close".

Better ramrods. Better, just plain better.

More molds made available for the various BP rifle calibers. Not everyone likes to shoot plastic, some even like to make their own bullets yet the number and availability of good molds has dwindled. Lyman, LEE, and RCBS could help a great deal by just offering a few more choices each.

I would like to see manufacturers cease the hype about effective range, "magnum" loads, velocity...and get back to a safer, more conservative approach to product and advertising. Pellets may be handy but they have probably caused more confusion about loads than any other recent addition to muzzleloading. Confusion about loads is not a good thing.

Would like to see TC position scope mount holes with greater sanity.

I want to see the Knight KP1 be made to the highest standards and become Knight's turn-around rifle.

And, finally, I would like for the various manufacturers to put more time and effort into field testing any new model before it is marketed. They could utilize real-world folks with real-world experience, folks that would provide an honest and thoroughreport of issues and concerns without glossing over any negatives.

I've got one more that I should have included before... ramrod attachments that do not remove themselves with use.

i agree with that! I cant tell you how many times my cleaning jag has come off when using a tight paper towel patch. PITA having to take it out every couple strokes to retighten it. Esp. when you're using the bore scrubber. Cant complain about the ramrods though, the one i originally had on my winchester was great until ibroke it.[:@]

I'd like to see TC drop the QLA and I would like to see more manufactures come out with 1-24" .50 cal barrels.
