What is the difference between a musket and a muzzle loader?
not sure if this is what you are looking for but a musket is usually smooth bored meaning it has no rifling in the barrel where a muzzle loader can have rifling. A muzzle loader refers to any weapon that is loaded thru the muzzle in a simple definition and it can be either smooth bored like a musket or rifled like a Pennsylvania long rifle or like most modern muzzle loaders are today

How can i remove breach plug from mossberg 50 cal muzzle loader barrel?
If you are talking about the 50 caliber muzzle loader barrel for the Mossberg 12 gauge Shotgun model 500 or the Maverick 88 - you can't remove the breech plug. You have to clean the barrel like a flintlock. I just bought one from Mossberg's web page (arrived yesterday 12/21/08). It didn't come with any instructions. Fortunately, I found the manuals online at the following addresses: Muzzle Loader Barrel http://www.mossbergs.com/manuals/Muzzleloader.pdf 12 Gauge Shotgun Model 500 http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/FIREARMS/mossberg_500.pdf Good Luck
How does a muzzleloader work?
A 'muzzle loader' is any firearm (or cannon) which does not have a breech mechanism and which is 'charged' (loaded with powder and shot) from the muzzle end of the barrel.
Does a muzzle-loader only shoot round bullets?
In MOST cases, muzzle loading firearms can shoot a round ball, OR a cylindrical bullet. Perhaps the best known was the "Minie ball". Named for its creator, this muzzle loaded bullet had a hollow base. On firing, the hollow base was opened by the force of the gunpowder, making the bullet sightly larger, and grip the rifling in th barrel on the way out. Google images of the Minie ball to see what one looks like.
What is the value of a double barrel shotgun made between 1818 and 1909?
No disrespect intended, but honestly, with no more description than you have given, it could be anywhere from $10 to $50,000 or even more. If manufactured in 1818, it could still be a flintlock and by 1909 it would almost certainly be a breech-loader. A "typical" utility double barrel, either a percussion muzzle-loader circa 1830-1880 or an early breech-loader circa 1865-1915, should bring from $100 to $250 as a mantle decoration. Shotguns by the top makers like Westley Richards or Parker Bros will bring thousands of dollars.

What is leanardos 7 barrel machine gun?
It was actually an 8 barreled gun. Each barrel was a small cannon, and the gun had 8-12 barrels. It looked a bit like a leaf rake, since the barrels spread out in a fan. Each barrel was a single shot muzzle loading gun- but you could shoot 8 times before reloading.
Do muzzle loading rifles have smooth bores?
The term "rifle" means that the inside of the barrel (also called the bore) has spiral lines engraved in it. These spiral grooves are known as rifling- they cause the bullet to spin when fired, causing it to travel straight. If a firearm has no rifling, then it is a smoothbore- and may be called a musket or a shotgun. So- some muzzle loading firearms- such as the Brown Bess Musket from the 1700s- ARE smoothbore- but they are not rifles. A muzzle loader like the .50 Hawken I hunt with IS rifled, and not a smoothbore. There is a neat little article on this at the link below:
Which 45 auto handgun has flames come out the top of the muzzle?
Sounds like you ma have seen a photo of a .45 with a PORTED barrel. An option with many handguns is to machine a couple of holes in the top of the barrel near the muzzle. As the bullet passes those holes on it's trip down the barrel, some of the gas is tapped off, and shoots up through the holes (the ports). The purpose to to help control the tendency of the muzzle to flip up from recoil- but a high speed photo that captures the flash does make it look a bit like a snorting dragon.
Moss-berg muzzle loader 410?
Mossberg has made many .410 shotguns- usually bolt actions- but cannot recall ever seeing a muzzleloading .410. Would you like to restate your questions?
