And, I understand that if the muzzle loader is a modern made REPLICA, it is treated the same as a modern cartridge firearm, requiring the assistance of a handful of specially licensed dealers here in the U.S. Unbelievable. I simply don't understand the UK's regulations with muzzle loading guns??? Doesn't make any common sense.
