I'd love to try one out. As for the battery going dead, They tell u how long it will last with the switch left on.

Like Frontier Gander, I would love to play with one on the range for the day, but I have no desire to purchase one. I think it will be one of those rifles that just never make it. Of course, they said that about the inline rifle back in the late eighties.

I will stick with those fancy new things called primers. If you watch their promo, they make it sound so bad having to clean the breech plug

Not having to clean the breech plug is always a plus. TC made a fuss over having to unscrew it.

I've always figured simple and reliable were closely related. Somehow I get the feeling this design might have potential for problems.

good thread. I was looking at that one as well.
I've never shot a BP gun, just getting the urge to try it though.
