Thanks guys I appreciate the info. In East Texas muzzleloaders are a dead art and people are only vaguely aware they exist. In my whole life I have only ever seen them on racks in gun shops around here three times. One was a old man's collection being sold off at insanely high prices, one was a lyman great plains that was beat up and was more than cabelas wants for a new one, and one was an old blackpowder double with one rifle barrel and one smoothbore. They wanted about 3 grand for it and it didn't function and was pitted. I may be down to parting one together by buying pieces here and there. In west Texas they even have a blackpowder season, in east Texas. Not so much.
Thanks
Richard

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
