	I do like the odd stuff Bought this today, auction listed it a unknown 55 cal muzzle loader I didn't have a front stuffer in my collection. Time to open up my tacklebox full of sights.

	First time I've seen a Roller converted to be a ML rifle.

	I kinda like it but it seems strange to see a loading rod under the barrel of a rolling block. And the stock seems odd on a muzzle loader. Yep, Aaron, you seem to attract the unusual.

	Here is my Rolling Block with a wiping rod under the barrel. Not a muzzle loader though. Built by Verl Sigman in 32-40.

	Back in the late 1970's,early 1980's there was a gun smith in Albuquerque, NM who told me he had converted some Remington military rifles to muzzle loaders. I do not remember his name and never saw any of them.

	I wasn't saying I'd never seen one with the wiping rod, just that it looks odd to me. And, way out of my percieved idea of what looks like a rolling block in the company of a 'modern' stock at the same time. It's an unusual rifle.

	Cabela’s offered a rolling block muzzle loader back in the 1990’s.
