    Is there a speed-loader available for this model? Might get up to 4 or 5 rounds per minute with some practice.

    My musket barrel has gotten so hot from firing that the shroud would have been most welcome!

    You guys might laugh, but be advised that after the 1994 ban the BATFE swept down on a civil War reenactment and arrested everyone with a CW era musket on several occasions!!

    They were military weapons with bayonet lugs, and according to the law as written they were illigal assualt weapons.

    The particular model shown above would also fall into the same catagory for several features according to Feinstein's agenda.

    It needs a pistol grip. Not as bad without a pistol grip.
