NMLRA rules available online?

[Ned]

I've seen references to BPCR events that follow National Muzzle Loader Association rules but I've been unable to locate those rules online.

Might anyone know if there is a site displaying them?

Specifically wondering if the H&R Buffalo Classic is legal for their events. I understand those rifles are not legal for NRA competition due to their sights.

Thank you.

Call the phone number on their website during business hours.
They are great people to deal with

Ned, the answer is No ... The BC with a globe front and a vernier rear is still a No.  The NRA deems the H&R not to be 'typical of the era', even though in my opinion it is the same platform as a Wurfflein.  Further, it's a shame that the Committee won't allow this rifle.  Many folks and juniors could be drawn to the BPCR sport and not have to spend big dollars for a high end BPCR.  And can the BC be competative?  Ya betcha it can.  Mine shoots accurately to 1000yds with a globe front and a vernier rear
