I can see the "three season" ML debate now.............

1. Sidelock
2. Modern inline
3. Duracell / Energizer

All these guys see is an early season. ML is all about the smell and the dirty fingers.

Would that fall under the classification of a 'matchlock' up here? Here's a thread about the concept in homegunsmith.com.

Arc-lock

CRAP w/batteries

No Thanks on this one........unless Thompson Center comes out with something for their Encore

 

[gunasauras]

Brutal....can't see it sticking around for long either...

 

[snowshoe]

I hope it falls flat.

I wonder if they bought the components at a surplus sale when Remington dumped their Etronix rifles.

Will it light the BBQ at the same time?

 

[Vic777]

I am going to get one.
I predict it will be a huge success.
Hunters are very non-conservative folks, willing to adapt to new ideas.

Seriously, I'm getting one.
I will also connect the circuitry to a transmitter, to facilitate ballistic experiments.

id get one just for the novlty of it. like my propane powered paintball gun.

Not having a ML yet I really don't have anything to compare too ,however I did take the time and go to the website and watch the demo video. I know those are only going to show everything in it's best light but I hasve to say I was impressed with what I saw and if it lives up to its hype it is a goot idea. I like the idea of not having to fumble with primers of caps in the field especially if I need a second shot . I know if there is something to drop or put in wrong I'll do it . Having a positive consistant ignition is not abad thing . I also like the fact that there isn't a primary flash to ignite the powder I think that would be hard to get used to coming from a center fire background ,1 pull 1 bang .

=Just my .02

I'm OK with it as long as you use a leyden jar as a power source.

 

[canucklehead]

eTronix, anyone?

Say if you had a real muzzleloader that would be a dead deer.Star Wars Technology is for the stars,give me Flint or Percussion any day and I'll have Meat on the table.Real Muzzleloaders don't play with Toys.

Rather than arc lock, aren't these more of a glow plug type of ignition?
