I orderd a FAL parts kit and recieved it today.My work partner asked me in a Mr. smarty pants fashon "you gonna make that onto a muzzle loader too? "And instead of punching him in the chest as I normaley do I sed maby.I have been thinking about it and if it could be done it would definatly be unique .Have any of you seen anything like this ?and would it be hard to do ?

I have a Choate FN-FAL stock on my 11-87 (w/Hastings fully rifled barrel). The straight comb and pistol grip keep it very level for rapid fire & fast follow ups. Neither of which are any benefit to a single-shot muzzleloader. You'll need to mount the sights relatively high above the bore, making close range (< 100 yards) shooting more sensitive to elevation estimates.

You can use a pink plastic yard flamingo as the basis of a muzzleloader stock, but that wouldn't make much sense; other than to be different and to say you did it.

The FAL stock is one step better.

 

Use your FAL to shoot gophers and prairie dogs, build a match lock if you want something out of the ordinary. Besides, a .308 muzzle loader with a 1:26 twist isn't going to give you results commensurate with the amount of time you're going to put into making it.

However, I do see a lot of modern shotguns turned into ML O/U trap guns. Lots of 870 pumps turned into O/U with mule ear hammers. Take out the mag tube, screw in a second barrel, solder and rib it, replace the forestock, put the mechanisms in the receiver well, and Bob's Yer Uncle, there's your shot gun.

Oh...breech plug the barrels and screw in a nipple first or the powder keeps going when you pour it down the muzzle.....
