thompson encore
I am new to black powder and i am looking to buy my first gun.
I would like to buy the encore but do not need to be able to change the barrels
but like the idea that they are supposed to be very easy to clean.
Can anyone offer any suggestions that have the same cleaning set up without the changable barrels.

RE: thompson encore
What you are looking for is the Thompson Center Omega muzzle loader.Comes in .45 and .50 cal. various barrel and stock options.Also has a 28" barrel,I beleive the encore has a 26" barrel.Omega is also a couple hundred dollars cheaper.Excellent muzzle loader,just got one in.50 cal. stainless/laminated wood.Good luck
