Actually Joe, compared to my 1863 Springfield for instance, where the barrel is firmly bolted to the gun, pulling the barrels off a SXS is simple and makes cleaning them, without messing up the rest of the gun, sooo much easier.

Actually there's not much you can tell me about cleaning vintage muzzleloading shotguns as I've own and shot and cleaned more than my share and yours.

Once the new wears off they are a pain in the butt to hunt with.
