norsk I take it that the charge goes into the breechblock whilst vertical. Then lowered and the primer goes onto the nipple forward of the trigger guard. The hammer then strikes up! Never seen one of these before. Nice way of keeping your primers dry. What is the reloading time like?

Your onto it!

Once the Kammer (chamber) is charged,the cap goes on the Nipple.You push the block down and crank the handle forward where by it cams into the end of the barrel.

Reloading time is at least twice as fast as a Muzzle loader.
