ABSTRACT:
A device for rapid loading of a muzzle-loaded firearm, our invention provides a method to carry, in ready position, all of the ingredients and implements necessary to reload a muzzle-loading firearm, both flintlock and percussion. In addition, our invention facilitates very rapid reloading due, in part, to an exclusive T-slot spring slide system which is lever activated. The device is positioned over the gun barrel, facilitated by a recess in the block; the lever is moved in either direction, thus releasing the spring slide to position itself in the open position. When this is done, the gun powder falls into the barrel and the patch and ball are then pushed through with a handily located ball starter. Priming is accomplished by using either the priming powder squeeze bottle in the case of a flintlock firearm or by removing a percussion cap from the carrying strap in the case of a percussion type firearm.
