I shoot a Pedersoli Kentucky flinter and thought, well they don't make them plastic handled thangs......till I checked the website and now they have a "modern black powder division".....very disappointing

so does lyman now have a modern black powder rifle.

Pedersoli has had a modern section for some time .
 but keep in mind they are also very vocal about  not mixing the two disciplines and  have many times openly supported not mixing modern with traditional muzzleloading hunting .

 To answer you question steve .
 You wouldn’t have to go through all that .
 Simply breech your 270 barrel . Head space the nipple  so as to be fired by the firing pin  .
 The only thing really stopping you from using it in many states would be   caliber restrictions .
 If you wanted to market such a weapon  you would only need to remove the second locking lug . This has been shown to be basically all that’s needed by the ATF  in order for the weapon to  get  through the FFA
 
 Now also I think alittle word of advice here .  Now im not putting on any hat . Im just  suggesting this .

Folks please remember that  while we don’t support modern weapons , we also don’t  get into  discussions about t them  unless they pertain to  a given issue  of who is supporting them and who is not or regulations changes that  exspand their acceptance  and thus effect traditional muzzleloading . Thus being something we all need to be aware of  as an organization .

 Now I know how you folks feel about these issues  and I must say  I have to agree . But lets understand that  we also have members and guests who are modern shooters and who have came here to learn about traditional weapon .
 They are respectful and have followed the rules .
So I ask you all to tread lightly here  on this subject   if we are going to start down  such a road .
I would greatly appreciate it   :shake
