We used to have at the least 20 different towns and cities in Alberta that had black powder shoots each and every year. So all the shooters plus those who didn’t go to the shoots, because they didn’t like competitive shooting; having guns. Where did they all go? The guns that is. You go to gun shows and see very very few muzzle loaders for sale, same with auctions, Access to Firearms, online ads and gun shops. It’s strange; maybe all the muzzleloaders got buried with their owners????
As for your finding a Jager for sale; good luck! About the only ones I’ve seen are in kit form from a mail order US firm; Track of the Wolf. Germanic Jager kits are available. Their kits require a lot of skill and workmanship and are not for the regular guy. Unless you find someone locally that’s willing to build it for you with all the bells and whistles; which most of the original ones had; it’ll cost you big bucks. Stuff like relief carving, wire inlays, engraving, making and installing a sliding wood patchbox, tuning the set triggers and lock and the myriad of skills just putting the whole thing together and finishing the metal and wood.
