muzzle loader
A muzzleloader is any firearm into which the projectile and usually the propellant charge is loaded from the muzzle of the gun (i.e., from the forward, open end of the gun's barrel). This is distinct from the modern (higher tech and harder to make) designs of breech-loading firearms. The term "muzzleloader" applies to both rifled and smoothbore type muzzleloaders, and may also refer to the marksman who specializes in the shooting of such firearms. The firing methods, paraphernalia and mechanism further divide both categories as do caliber (from cannons to small-caliber palm guns).
Modern muzzleloading firearms range from reproductions of sidelock, flintlock and percussion long guns, to in-line rifles that use modern inventions such as a closed breech, sealed primer and fast rifling to allow for considerable accuracy at long ranges.
Modern mortars use a shell with the propelling charge and primer attached at the base. Unlike older muzzleloading mortars, which were loaded the same way as muzzleloading cannon, the modern mortar is fired by dropping the shell down the barrel where a pin fires the primer, igniting the main propelling charge. Both the modern mortar and the older mortar were used for high angle fire. However, the fact that the mortar is not loaded in separate steps may make its definition as a muzzleloader a matter of opinion.
Muzzleloading can apply to anything from cannons to pistols but in modern parlance the term most commonly applies to black powder small arms. It usually, but not always, involves the use of a loose propellant (i.e., gunpowder) and projectile, as well as a separate method of ignition or priming.
Got this Traditions Evolution .50 in a trade recently. Had plans for it but situation changed. Have a box full of muzzle loading supplies for this rifle and cap and ball pistols. Looking for $450 for everything or trade offers.

Posting for a buddy who bought it and moved to Montana and this doesn’t comply with their muzzleloader rules. Bergara barrel, totally unfired, perfect condition with box and extras. No ffl as this is not a firearm. Comes with a globe sights. Thanks!
Staghorn Inline .50cal Muzzleloader. Has a fixed power BSA scope. Good Condition.
It's a budget rifle with a budget scope, but it's a way to get into muzzleloading or have a spare inline for cheap.
I'm getting rid of it, because I will never use it.
$100.... I'll take best offer.
Hello I have a traditions tracker 209 .50 cal muzzleloader. It is brand new and has never been fired. I’m looking for $350 or looking for a .270 possibly a 6.5 creedmoore. Thank you
$350. Stainless NW edition muzzle loader hardly used. Sighted it in (with a great peep sight that allows the scope to mount) and shot a goat a couple of years ago. Just sitting in the corner of the gun room collecting dust. I loved using the see-through scope mount to sight in and adjust zero...
Hey guys, these were given to me by a family member a while back. I got no use for them and he doesn’t want them back. Ive never shot them, but know he’s hunted with the 700 a time or two.
The 700 is .50 cal and the Armi is .54
The 700 has a little surface rust, and could use a good detail and...

Weatherby Vangaurd .223 with a custom yardage turret...
I'm not looking for a fancy one. Needing minor work is OK if all the pieces are there, I have more time than money. Not interested in percussion if conversion kit is not available for that model.
Can buy or trade for non-firearm stuff- let me know if there's something you need and I'll see if...
