    There isn't much that rifle I'd trust from what I can see... You can buy replacement locks from L&R and double set triggers Track of the Wolf, Muzzleloader Builders Supply, etc... Good choice to run...

If you plan on using patch and round ball 54 cal , Maxi or Great Plains Ball/Bullet 50 cal, and if your going to embark on a 6 month trek through the wilderness away from civilization and what you carry is what you have for an extended period of time like...

As long as you follow Archer 756 always treat a gun as...

    Is a 40 round ball sufficient for deer hunting?

    It's a moot point if you can kill a deer with a 40 cal, Daniel Boone I believe used a 42 cal... Because Pennsylvania requires Muzzleloading Rifles to be 44 Cal or larger and Muzzleloading pistols to be 50 Cal or larger. You will not be able to use a 40 Cal on deer in PA... Don't know about Ohio...
