I see that Traditions is making a flintlock which can use loose powder or pellets, and can be cleaned from the breech.

I've always wanted a flintlock. There's some appeal to the idea of not needing primers which are becoming harder and harder to find. And the appeal of older technologies also calls to me. Someday, maybe I'll build a kit with a nice wooden stock, someday I'll get a real historic piece.
But for now, to get the hang of a flintlock and as a gun that I could maybe do some muzzleloading hunting with, is the Traditions a good gun? I especially like the idea of being able to take out the breech plug and clean it straight through from the breech side.
