re: #466 Shropshire Slasher

Savage Arms is suffering blowback from possibly defective muzzleloaders that were designed to withstand the use of smokeless powder after several have exploded.

I am not a big fan of the use of stainless steel in gun barrels. If it was designed to operate using smokeless powder, then you don’t have to soak the barrel in soapy water after use.

Since when do muzzle loaders have a bolt action?
