Giz that sounds like a lot of work to me. But I guess if your bit by the black powder bug It's worth it.

Does that apply to these new fangled black powder rifles that a lot of states are making illegal to hunt with ?

Yes, the steps outlined apply to in-line rifles. While in-line muzzle loaders have a breach plug, making things a bit easier, I do all the above.
I was not aware some states were making them illegal. Seems odd because of the location of the cap is the only thing that has changed. But a 'pistol grip' on a black rifle makes that evil too

Azmic I am willing to bet that you will find it's the muzzle loading purists that are pushing for these laws. a lot of the gun community tends to be very Conservative. You should see the reactions I get from some members of the rifle range when I bring my evil black rifle to shoot.
