I'm new to muzzle loading. Got this TC New Englander today, first gun I have ever owned. I got it in a trade for about 150$ of ski equipment. The guy I got it from said that it was loaded so I didn't want to look down the barrel... He said it was fired less than 6 months ago, it was cleaned after that and has since been kept in his gun safe. He told me there were no problems in the barrel.
So when I got home I used my cell phone camera to look down there and It didn't look good. Here is a picture.. Did I buy a piece of crap?
