That was an interesting read. According to them we imported the most muzzleloaders into the country since 2003 recently

Oh golly I hope not. Save a few more bucks and buy a kibler.

I just finished one and find my fingers going back to the website.

I don't call those muzzleloaders, manure like that is what nearly shut this entire forum down​

 

[ord sgt]

Those types of front loaders are not discussed on this forum.

The in-line market in off the rails right now.

Me thinks a lot of folks see more gun grabbing on the horizon.

Stocking up on front stuffing -rear priming muzzleloaders is a good idea.

 

[TDM]

Interesting.

More plastic than a playboy centerfold.

It's no renaissance. It's just the market's reaction to no ammunition being available to buy coupled with longer hunting seasons. The same reason so many people are discovering flintlocks - you can't get caps but you can get rocks and keep on shooting.

"They do, however, indicate a growing interest in blackpowder guns—whether historic designs or more modern inline versions"

I'd like to see the breakdown between the two. I don't consider modern inline versions to be "black powder" guns.

I saw that article yesterday, didn't know how to post it ,thanks
Goex is p down, great time for a resurgence in muzzleloading.
Most of these shoot synthetic with sabots, not in our interesr

 

[Johnny Tremain]

Yup, no ammo makes all them killers have to resort to old fashion way of killing, tho they modernized them just for the killers.

May or may not be related but here's what I think I'm seeing.

It seems like many of the people who have been buying those guns are leaking into the trad side. I see many new members here over the past few years who state that they have come to trad from mod. Also see many that may not say as such but they are obviously dealing with some of the common inline dogma. Trying to adjust to the different dogma.

I wonder what type of muzzle loader the average Bud Light drinker shoots?

One that only identifies as one no doubt.

Well, that's different.

Frankenstuffer is jealous of pic #1.

Pic #1 has to be a battlefield pickup from Area 51.

That rifle headlining the article looks like it would fit right in with one of those Call of Duty games. My European history isn't great but I thought the Renaissance was the revival of Classical art, not the complete abandonment of it.
