As much as I'd love to have a Huntman or Sidekick, they aren't legal here without modification, so I just pass on what's been said in the past here by the real NEF/H&R owners when I can. ;)

Thx, glad to help, tho,

Tim

It's illegal in Washington state for muzzleloader seasons, can't be 209 and ignition must be exposed. Not positive, but I think there are a couple others too.
