I read an article in the August issue of the (NRA) American Hunter
magazine concerning a law change in Massachusetts for Blackpowder
hunters. For the 1994 Primative Arms hunting season the state has
approved the use of "In-Line" muzzleloaders. It seems after many years
of debate they finally got across the point that the "In-Line" guns are
no more powerful or accurate than the traditional sidehammer rigs.

Guy,
I'm looking at purchasing a Black Powder gun in the next few days...I
thought the In-Lines were restricted in several states - not just Mass
what about NH, ME & VT? DO you know? Thanks in advance.

To really be sure what each states requires you should confirm
the laws with Fish & Game Department. In N.H. the only restriction on
BP from what I know of is that you can not hunt "Big Game" with less
than a .40 caliber firearm. In Mass there are more restrictions such
as at least 18" barrel length, only one operative barrel (O/U & S/S),
Single projectile, and Optics (Scopes).
