I’m new to black powder and have a muzzleloader hunt coming up this season so I need to pick one up.
I’ve been reading that due to the powder used, muzzleloaders can often get corrosion if not cleaned thoroughly after several shots.
Knowing this, is it ok to buy a used muzzleloader, or is buying new the best route to go? If buying used, what are some things to look out for in order to to know if it has been properly taken care of or not?
