If you do have a "traditional" muzzleloader season, where do you draw the line. A TC Hawkin is only superficially traditional, coil springs in the lock etc. What about a traditional style rifle with a saboted bullet rifling twist or a traditional rifle with a scope on it?
The people who have a clone of an actual historic rifle will look down their noses at people who use mass produced traditional style muzzleloaders that are not really replicas of any historic rifle.

Conversly, what about an inline that is designed for #11 percussion caps and has a barrel designed for patched roundballs and uses iron sights?
