I also noticed that the front sling mount holds the stock against the barrell.  This is missing on this gun. Is this going to effect accuracy?  Wondering if I can pick this up at Cabelas or somthing?

The front sling mout on mine is just a nut and washer inside the stock, I know this because mine fell off and I had to reattach it Mark

Ok, so I got the gun ( have yet to pay him ) and cleaned it up really good.  With the breach and stuff out I noticed a couple small little marks inside the barrell down near the breach.  It looks like it would be where the ram rod hs hit the barrell during loading.  Is this normal, or a big deal?  Anyother pointers for a semi-newbi to muzzel loading.

KTM, sounds like if it is inside the Barrel you have some pitting. You say its at the bottom of the barrel, like where the powder charge would sit when loaded? Probably is not a problem but you will want to make sure you clean the bore well to neutralize the acids left from the powder before you store it. Again this is probably not going to hurt the performance of the rifle. Does it look to be real deep?

The ram rod loading jag should be made of brass so it would be real hard to score the bore.IMO.

Gottcha with the sling thing I read the manual wrong. 
As far as the barrel thing it might be pitting, but it has no other marks any other place.  Just like four or five scratches near where the bullet would sit.  I think I am going to push a sabot all the way through the barrel and see what it looks like, the plastic part might show signs or marks.  Either way their is no other marks on the barrel, it was actually pretty clean. 
The jag is not brass.  It looks like aluminum or something.

I had to clean that dang gun 5 times for that junk to come out, and thats all it was.  Just a big wad of crap.  Previous owner did not take the best care of it I guess.  I did not buy it, I ended up getting a CVA elkhorn for 150 bones, never shot.  It is missing the front glow rod on the sight.  Pretty good price.  Cant wait to sling some lead with it.  I really like the "bolt action" type better.
