Have conviction of domestic violence, can i buy a muzzle loader at a gun store legally?
Check with your local police for current and correct information.
Your best bet would be Dixie Gun Works, Track of the wolf or Log Cabin shop. They all carry muzzle loader parts, new and old, and are also all on the web.
A 'muzzle loader' is any firearm (or cannon) which does not have a breech mechanism and which is 'charged' (loaded with powder and shot) from the muzzle end of the barrel.
how do you take apart the slide mechanism in a muzzle loader
do u know where i can finds parts for a New Frontier muzzle loader at
$150+
yes cause you use black powder for a muzzle loader but for a real gun its all in the bullet and the hammer...
Your question answers itself, "muzzle loader". You load it from the muzzle. Actually, that's incorrect. They use the term "muzzle loader" improperly. It's a bolt action black powder rifle. The powder is pre-pressed into slugs that you load into the chamber, along with wadding and a bullet. I would guess you could load it down the muzzle, but it's faster and easier to buy the slugs and load that way.
big bore smoothbarrels were made as early as the 18th century
not sure if this is what you are looking for but a musket is usually smooth bored meaning it has no rifling in the barrel where a muzzle loader can have rifling. A muzzle loader refers to any weapon that is loaded thru the muzzle in a simple definition and it can be either smooth bored like a musket or rifled like a Pennsylvania long rifle or like most modern muzzle loaders are today
