Went to the fun store after work yesterday to look around and pick up some primers. Saw something with a wood stock amongst the black and camo plastic on the muzzleloader shelf so I had to check it out. Turns out it was a late model NEF Huntsman .50 cal which uses a shotgun receiver and can take extra barrels. It was in awesome condition other than a big scratch on top of the receiver and, best of all, no Pyrodex induced cancer.
NEF/H&R didn't advertise these very well, but they are a great alternative to other inlines. USA made, wood stock and forend, Williams front and rear sights, and can use H&R shotgun barrels. The factory breech plug uses 209 primers in a plastic disc, however a firm called Metrics Unlimited makes a breech plug which does not require discs. I got one of these rifles about 5 years ago for $176.00 and counted myself lucky. This particular one was $95.00 so now I have two. Will post pics when I get home.
