"Bolt-action" muzzleloaders crack me up.

Of course it's cut and paste. That doesn't change the tests.

Prove them wrong.


Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you a hunting license and that's pretty close.

That is pretty funny. I have a remington muzzleloader that I use for pry bar. When I want to kill deer I use a CVA.

I think its about time I put your useless AZZ on ignore. You add absolutely zip nada zilch to an conversation.

"Bolt-action" muzzleloaders are the cat's ass. The bolt action is by far the best for those all-important quick follow-up shots.

Double loading and double balling a barrel used to be the accepted way of proofing a barrel when you made a rifle. I have done it as well .
In Fact doing so was recommended in a lot of the old Muzzleloading manuals to include those by Sam Fedela .

HOWEVER!!!! Your not supposed to be doing it with the barrel in the gun and up to your shoulder .
Its also should be noted that doing so IS NOT A PROOF in any way shape or form
Doing so doesn�t mean a barrel will hold that charge again or for that mater hold even a lesser charge the next time its loaded.

As to proofing having to be done when you build rifles . Guys , do a search for swampman or read some of the links we have posted . The topic has been covered , time and time again to the point of showing tests where guns were purposely loaded to the point they failed . That included guns with American made barrels
Which didn�t fair any better then Spanish made ones .

He IMO is a sad person that can only get people to talk with him if he trolls .
Let him alone and he will go away for another 3 or 4 months

C'mon Cap, I know you have a couple of bolt-actions stashed somewhere. The bolt-action flinter was the greatest innovation since black powder.

At least they aren't pipebombs and they are the most accurate style.

Sure they are. Just look at all the imitation bolt-actions they spawned.

i started to build one of those period bolt actions once . I got a far as mocking up a working ignition model . Doing so showed real quick just why they were not all that popular .
My first Muzzleloader was a low number O3A3 that I converted in shop class . Back when most boys had at least a 22 and the older boys had guns in their trucks at school .
The 2nd was a Winchester I converted . Both worked really well .
Made all my own powder and bullet moulds for those as well .
I sold them to get enough money to buy my first traditional gun , which was a CVA hawkins then a Kentucky . Not one of the two piece stocks but one of their early one piece limited runs that CVA did .
Since those first 2 rifles I have not owned a bolt action or any type of modern designed muzzle loading rifle . doesn�t mean I couldn�t make one if I wanted . I could . But I don�t see the need
I do have bolt action and lever center fire rifles . Even a couple brake opens .
About 20 years ago I went strictly traditional flintlocks for my hunting .
My personal opinions on that choice , I think I have made very clear through the years , so no real need to rehash that . Here as of late , I have had a desire to build a sharps though . Maybe 45-70 or 45-110. But these days I don�t have much time for what I want to build for myself .

They were great rifles until CVA drove them out of business. Nobody was ever killed by a Knight.

There is a new company called Knight. The old company was driven out of business by CVA cloning everything they made and flooding the market with them for $89.95 each. They can do that because they get subsidies from the Spainish government. American jobs lost and a safe muzzleloader gone from the market.

What did CVA copy? Knight had plunger and bolt guns. You see any of those in CVA guns?



So, did you have a Knight Wolverine? You slipped the question again.

Yep, CVA made an exaxt copy of all of them. They did the same with T/C. They've even cloned T/Cs new switch barrel rifle.
