While you may not find it by just swinging and walking up to one of the shelves of your local Bass pro or Wal-Mart , its not hard to find if you want it. You just have to look.. Agreed, I know a few places to buy it, just not in the mainstream, big box stores.

Last time I sent it in,TC said barrels were getting in short supply, but I know Track Of The Wolf has them.

If you are really into it Dixons has a gunmakers fair the last full week of July. You can camp local, and most of the folks you mentioned have their goods for sale. Seminars by top notch builders well worth the trip for the die hard black powder shooter. There are no problems that cannot be resolved by the suitable application of high explosive.

I have always wanted a Jager I have seven long guns one.54 two.32s one.50 a.45 one.60 fusil de chase, and a 10ga Dbl. All I load is GOEX or Swiss tried the substitutes just didn't care for them. Their are 30 clubs in Pa. that run monthly BP shoots and rendezvous so traditional Muzzleloading is alive and well in this area.

I don't have an inline and don't intend to buy one. So, traditional muzzloaders aren't dead at my house. ************************************************************ Well said, I agree completely +1 It's smart to hang around old guys 'cause they know lotsa stuff...
