OK, for some reason my response seems to have disappeared?

Kanhke used to shot up at a couple Minneapolis Gun shows several years ago. What I remember is they made a pretty nice ML. I spoke to them a little over a year ago and they no longer go to gun shows.

You are right though,very little in the ways of information out there on them. I've done some google searches and gotten some feedback on Muzzleloader web-sites and have seen pretty positive things about them. I'll try to dig up the information and PM it to you.

I'd like to look at getting one of thier ML Handguns as well.

I am from a small town right next to Redwood Falls (Morton) I have seen and handled them but have never fired one. I am not a muzzleloader hunter that is why. I know who the owner is and he is a straight shooter. I am sure you can trust him on his guns. I have never heard a bad word about them.

Thanks for the reply, I have ordered one and hope to have it by May , The owner seems like a great guy , and most information i have bout his guns is all good.

Hey Raymo,I hope you see this. Have you gotten your Kahnke ML yet? Curious what you think of it. Still thinking of getting one myself but would like to lay my hands on one first to see what I think of them.

[Bucksnort101]

Just curious if anyone else has ordered one of Kahnke's Muzzleloaders. It's on my short list of new ML's for next year.

I have shouldered a Kahnke ML but never had the pleasure of firing one. Know a few people around Redwood Falls who have one and they cannot say enough good things about them. You wont be disappointed if you get one.

I own a mod 94 and I am well please with the ML. It will shoot well just about anything you want to stuff down the barrel.

I even have had acceptable groups with a .495 RB with a .010 patch over 100 grains of ffg.

I believe a few years back at the states ML shoot a Kahnke placed second.

A guy I work with has 2 of them and another in our party also has 2. One being a pistol. I used one of them for a few years until buying a T/C. They are nice guns and seem to shoot fine. I am not sure if they are as easy to clean like the T/C as far as the breach plug is concerned but over all a nice gun. The only negitive thing I found was for some reason I was cutting my thumb nuckle open when I would shoot. Had something to do with the hammer or something. The owner said he had it happen to him one time. Did it to me twice that year and in the same spot. Get just about healed and cut again!

jt24, I think the deer just made you too nervous to shoot correctly.
