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.
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 .
