A lock on a muzzleloader is the mechanism that ignites the gunpowder, firing the projectile. It typically includes components like the hammer, frizzen, and pan, which work together to create a spark or flame that ignites the powder charge. There are various types of locks, such as flintlock and percussion lock, each using different methods to achieve ignition. The lock is a critical part of the firearm's operation, directly affecting its reliability and performance.
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.

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

Muzzle loaders were very early forms of mainly rifle style, but also pistols. Technically a modern mortar is a muzzle loader.
