MUZZLE-LOADING FIREARM WITH A MONO BLOCK AND RETAINING NUT

摘要

An improved muzzle-loading firearm with a removable, threadless breech plug retained by a breech plug retaining collar, and a barrel retaining nut for simplifying manufacture, cleaning, preventing fouling and over-pressure situations, and minimizing alignment issues during assembly of the firearm. The removable, threadless breech plug also allows for straightforward interchangeability of breech plugs for use with various primers and propellants. The muzzle-loading firearm has a barrel with a protrusion on the breech end of the barrel that fits into a matched groove within the mono block for use in aligning the barrel during assembly of the firearm. The muzzle-loading firearm has a barrel retaining nut, wherein the barrel retaining nut is internally threaded to accept the threaded end of the barrel thereby retaining the barrel in the mono block.
