ABSTRACT:
A muzzle-loading rifle of this invention generally comprises a barrel having an axial bore therethrough, and an elongate receiver formed integrally with the barrel at the breech end of the barrel. The receiver extends rearwardly from the barrel and has an axial bore therethrough generally coaxial with the bore through the barrel. At the rearward end of the receiver is and end cap having a bore therethrough which is generally coaxial with the receiver bore. A bolt of integral one-piece construction is slidable in the receiver bore between a retracted position and a firing position. The bolt has a body, a head at one end of its body, and an elongate tailpiece at the rearward end of its body. The tailpiece extends endwise from the bolt body through an end cap bore and projects rearwardly beyond the end cap to form a handle adapted to be grasped and pulled to slide the bolt to the retracted position without rotation. Spring means urges the bolt forward toward its firing position. Additional aspects of this invention include a double safety system and a bolt assembly which is removable as a unit.
