directions on how to load Belgian muff gun screw off barrel

[shadowjames]

hi, i load a lot of ammo but few black powder and i just bought the very nice Belgian muff gun pre 1877 it has a screw off barrel and i was wondering from some one if they have experience in this type how you load it, it is either 44 or 45

The one I had, you drop in the ball, fill the powder chamber level, and screw it back together.

Dixie Gun catalog used to have kits for these. I haven't looked for years.

the trigger springs out when fully cocked, barrel screws off leaving space for charge?

This is how I've loaded and fired mine: Unscrew the barrel. Put the powder charge in the hole in the frame under the nipple. Put the ball on top of the charge. Screw the barrel back on.

IMHO that is correct. Thanks
