It sounds like it must be some sort of inline adapter. This forum is more for traditional sidelock muzzleloaders, the only exception being cap & ball revolvers.
There is another forum for modern muzzleloaders. I’m sure you would be welcome there. Not that you aren’t welcome here… it’s just that this crowd prefers traditional guns.

Well, I could use it with my sidelock, breech loading coach gun. I understand the spirit of the forum, and since this item I found seems like a bit of a gray area, I figured I'd ask before posting the link.

I believe that discussing this type of modern conversion would violate the Pre-1865 rule as well as the ignition types allowed here. Would be a good topic for the Modern Muzzle loader site.
I could understand an argument that a link would violate the pre-1865 rule (though I don't necessarily agree), but don't think it would violate the ignition rule. This is one of those "I'm not entirely sure, so I'm asking" things.

The sponsors are free to advertise stuff. That's not a thread. Although we do not discuss inlines, it does not seem to hamper AGC's desire to advertise on The Forum.
Conversion of a breech loading shotgun would turn it into a smoothbore inline. Not allowed.
IF one converted the firing pin channel to take some sort of nipple, on an exposed hammer shotgun, and then loaded it from the muzzle, it still would not be allowed. Although we do discuss breech loaders that use an external ignition source such as a flint or cap, these are limited to 1865 production and earlier, and the converted shotgun scenario would be of a more modern design, post 1865.
