Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders things to avoid in a used muzzleloader?

I only have traditional muzzleloaders but what to look for has been covered. Rust and pitting, a nipple that comes out, cracks in the stock around the lock and breech block, and look at the crown of the muzzle. A little rust doesn't hurt and a lot of guns are leaded up pretty bad if they have been shot a lot so expect to clean that out.
