Abstract
A muzzle-loading rifle for use with a primer of the type having a shell and a piston fitted within the shell and adapted for igniting gunpowder in the rifle to fire a bullet. The rifle includes a barrel and a breech plug having an opening for receiving the primer and connected to the barrel. A movable bolt is fitted within the rifle for movement toward the breech plug and adjacent the primer. A spring-loaded primer sealing device is mounted to the movable bolt for engaging the shell of the primer and for pressing against it to help seal the end of the movable bolt to the shell of the primer to control the travel of gases and residue. The spring-loaded primer sealing device is mounted to the movable bolt for engaging the shell of the primer only and does not engage against the piston portion of the primer.
