Wrong!

Bic's have a fast twist.

I think a smooth bore might be interesting. The TK 2000 won't work for round ball because it is jug choked. A 62 caliber cylinder bore could be used for turkey in the spring and deer in the fall. It would be a modern take on the trade gun...

Wait a minute, thats crazy! Semisane was this your idea?

highly doubt they will ever do it, especially the slow twist. They want to sell you the higher cost bullets for the guns, not cheap round balls.

Imagine what they would cost if they were plated like the platinum bullet they sell

I have had a LOT if guys want to buy my Hot Rod Hawkens, and Hot Rod Renegades. For us guys here in states that don't allow any muzzleloader we have to make due. We have a rule that says the cap must be exposed to the weather. It used to say rotating hammer and exposed to the weather. The roataing hammer was dropped. The older MK85 and those types are legal. The thing is the format of the hot rod renegade fits with guys that hunt open country mule deer. Most of them are looking for a traditional looking "tactical" muzzleloader. Something that can be dialed in at any range. If a company made these kind of fast twist hot rods yes they would sell. At least to western hunters. Scopes are not allowed in ML hunts in Idaho. Ron

Just so you know... Knight makes a DISC that is Pacific Nortwest Legal also. And so for those that choose to do so you can shoot it also...



Take the scope off and it is now PAC Northwest legal - put the scope on and use it during the regular rifle season also... it is 2 fer one

i sell them for $20 for the first pack and $15 for an order of 2 or more

but no seriously, why would they want to sell cheap round balls? If they were to make a sidelock, they will make it with a twist to support they projectiles they sell.

That would cost as much as a TVM. I'd rather have the TVM.
