ABSTRACT:
A muzzle loading rifle has a cylindrical primer holder having a transverse hole therethrough which is provided to retain a primer charge. The primer holder may be rotated from a firing position to a safety position while retaining the charge enclosed within the receiver of the rifle. The back end of a breach plug engages the primer holder and an annular ring at the back of the breach plug is sized to be shearable by the breach plug at a predetermined pressure for providing an additional safety feature for the rifle. Shearing the breach plug annular ring is engineered to absorb substantial excess pressure if present.
