So it looks like WA and OR are the same.

My go-to on the barrel is duct tape. 

It appears to me that I could use Duct Tape on the breech in Idaho, but when I cocked it to fire, I'd have to take that off.  Or, I could use nail polish or vaseline or some other type of grease to coat my nipple.  Is that how you'd read Idaho?

I presented it as I have shown to the Idaho LEO... When the rifle as it is built is ready to fire ANY portion of the cap must be exposed or visible.  In all of my Western legal ML's that is true.  As a hunter if I choose to protect the breech - that is my choice as long as rifle was built with the exposure or visibility.

So in this case with the MK 85 or even a DISC I am meeting the visible portion of the requirement.  Even if I used a piece of tape or a leather cover the rifle is still built to meet the Idaho specification.






Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

If you hunt only on sunny dry days, then you are good to go. :chuckle:
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.
