ABSTRACT:
A muzzle loading rifle has a cocking member which is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the central axis of the barrel of the rifle and has a cam mounted on the distal end thereof. When the cocking member and the cam are rotated, the cam will move the hammer from a fired position to a cocked position. Second, a cylindrical primer holder having a transverse hole therethrough 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. Third, a safety lever rotates about an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the hammer sear from a first locked position to a second unlocked position. Movement of the safety lever to the second position unlocks the sear and allows the weapon to be fired.
