Abstract

A Quick Muzzle Loading Rifle is provided that consists of a barrel extension that is threaded into a frame and a short barrel that is pivotally attached to the frame and can pivot between a position in-line with the barrel extension and a position to the side of the frame. When pivoted to the side of the frame, the short barrel is loaded. Once loaded, the short barrel is placed in-line with and forced toward the barrel extension which causes the short barrel to contact a gas seal that ensures leak-tight communication between the short barrel and the barrel extension. While in this configuration, the Quick Muzzle Loading Rifle is capable of being fired. A Quick Loader functions to load the Quick Muzzle Loading Rifle and consists of a main cylinder, a cylinder top, and a cylinder base. The main cylinder bounds, in its interior, a plurality of cylindrical storage cavities. The cylinder base bounds a mating structure and a single cylindrical hole which is capable of being lined up individually with each of the plurality of storage cavities in the main cylinder. The cylinder top attachment houses a spring-loaded ramrod mechanism which is always in-line with the hole in the cylinder base attachment. The Quick Loader is loaded by filling the storage cavities with black powder and lead balls. The cylinder base is mated to the short barrel and the ramrod mechanism is actuated to load the Quick Muzzle Loading Rifle.
