Thats because they were an utter failure in the market, at least in this area.  We sold a few right off the bat to the "gotta have it" guys and then the rest sat on the shelves.  I'm not sure why they didn't sell, I think it had something to do with being built on the 77/22 action instead of the 77 action that everyone expected.  I know I did not care for the feel or fit of the gun.

I have two friends that have them and love them. One installed a cabelas 209 kit on his the other didn't. Only complaint each has is the cleaning of the bolt. That bolt was probably one of the biggest factors for them not selling. They came out at the end of the bolt gun time frame. You don't see to many of them on the used gun market in this area but when you do they still command a good price.

One of my son's has one and he loves it. He also put a 209 kit in it. This is one of the only modern muzzelloaders that actually feels like a regular rifle. Not sure why it didn't catch on.
