I am thinking of buying a second in-line muzzleloader.
My first one was a CVA Buckhorn, and although it does shoot straight, it is hard to put on the 209 primers (you need a special tool), and a thorough cleaning requires a thorough and fairly painstaking disassembly. That said, I'm looking at buying either the NEF Hunstman or Sidekick. I think they're about the same, except that one is GCA/FFL, since it can be fitted with a breechloading barrel. Any comments from owners of either of these NEF muzzleloaders would be greatly appreciated.
