92xj Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ignition is to be wheel lock, matchlock, flintlock, or percussion using original style percussion caps that fit on the nipple and are exposed to the weather. "Exposed to the weather" means the percussion cap or the frizzen must be visible and not capable of being enclosed by an integral part of the weapon proper. Primers designed to be used in modern cartridges are not legal. With this, I am assuming a T/C encore/Prohunter is illegal as well as 209 primers?

Hoosierbuck Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Your interpretations are correct. No 209 primers, no closed breech or plastic jacket primer holder set-ups. All sidelocks with percussion caps or flint locks would be legal. Knight's older models like Wolverine would be OK, too, among others.

MichiganHunter Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yup side locks only, they aren't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yup side locks only, they aren't bad. That's not totally true, an in-line would be ok as long as it used percussion caps and left it exposed to weather. Side locks are the most common rifles with those attributes, however. Can't go wrong there. HB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92xj Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I'm new to muzzleloading, but wouldn't a CVA Buckhorn or T/C Black Diamond fit that description? I have no idea. I do know that my T/C enocre, walnut and blued in a 45 cal is now pretty much worthless out here in Washington. Can't afford another gun right now, so I guess I am out of muzzleloader season here. The only thing I have left is hopefully rifle season.:bummed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I have left is hopefully rifle season.:bummed: If you're not too attached to it you could put it in the classifieds on here for sale or trade for the kind you need. Unless the season is real soon that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierbuck Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 There are great deals to be had on muzzleloaders in various classifieds. A while back i picked up a nice Lyman caplock for like $150. Look for a Lyman, Cabela's Hawken, T/C Hawken, or one of the various more modern ones if you come up with a little scratch for it.

pointing_dogs_rule Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yep, I have a Knight (in-line) with an exposed percussion cap which works well. It is the LK-93. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
