I am a Michigander and since no hunting restrictions exist concerning designs of MLs, I quit winterizing my sidehammer MLs last winter and traded the caplocks for sealed ignition inlines.
Unless you are a traditionalist, I suggest doing the same. The only weatherproofing I will do this winter is a cotton-ball over the muzzle while in the woods. It's all that is needed with my T/C Omega and Knight Vision.
