Find a used encore muzzle loader and buy it, these are seen quite frequently in paper, pawn shops and gun shows (if you can stand going to one). Take the bbl off and sell it. Buy the barrel of your choice from MGM or Bellem. Order stock of choice to fit barrel from Boyd,s (thumb hole model is cool) these are better than the tupperware, unless hunting in the mountains where weight is an issue. Also get the correct scope mount from MGM or Bellem to fit barrel contour. Go shoot stuff. You will be happy. The full bull contour barrels from MGM are a hoot, if your shooting from a bench or from a fixed blind.
