A muzzle-loading firearm having a barrel and a pivoting firing mechanism. The barrel has a breech plug, a pivoting junction axle. and a blocking axle, and the firing mechanism has a trigger, hammer, striker and notch. The firing mechanism is pivotally attached to the barrel at the pivoting junction axle and the blocking axle is movably aligned in the notch. When the firing mechanism is pivoted, it is guided by the blocking axle in the notch ensuring sufficient clearance between said firing mechanism for easy placement of a percussion cap.

The invention claimed is: 1. A muzzle-loading firearm comprising: a barrel; a breach plug situated in a rear end of the barrel and adapted to receive a percussion cap; a pivoting block mounted for pivotal motion relative to the barrel and having a firing mechanism mounted thereto, the firing mechanism including a striker for striking the percussion cap, a hammer for driving the striker, and a trigger for tripping the hammer, the pivoting block being pivotal between a blocked position for firing and an unblocked position for providing access to the breech plug for removing a spent percussion cap and replacing it with a fresh percussion cap; and a trigger guard pivotally mounted to the pivoting block for movement between three positions: a locked position locking the pivoting block in its blocked position; an unlocked, blocked position in which the pivoting block is still in its blocked position, but the pivoting block is ready to be moved therefrom; and an unlocked, unblocked position in which the pivoting block has been unblocked, providing access to the breech plug, and wherein rotation of the trigger guard from the unlocked, blocked position to the unlocked, unblocked position causes the pivoting block to move from its blocked position to its unblocked position. 2. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 1 wherein the trigger guard is held in its locked, blocked position by a spring clamp. 3. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 2 wherein the spring clamp tends to hold the trigger guard in its locked, blocked position, but does not apply a biasing force biasing the trigger guard against movement from the unlocked, blocked position toward the unlocked, unblocked position. 4. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 1 wherein the trigger guard is biased toward its locked, blocked position by a biasing spring. 5. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 1 wherein the trigger guard, when in its unlocked positions, is operative to prevent the trigger from being operated. 6. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 1 wherein the trigger guard, when in its locked, blocked position engages a fixed barrier to prevent the pivoting block from moving from the blocked position to the unblocked position. 7. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 1 wherein as the trigger guard moves from its locked position to its unlocked, blocked position it pivots relative to the pivoting block and wherein as the trigger guard moves from its unlocked, blocked position to its unlocked, unblocked position, the trigger guard and the pivoting block pivot together relative to the barrel. 8. A muzzle-loading firearm comprising: a barrel; a breach plug situated in a rear end of the barrel and adapted to receive a percussion cap; a pivoting block having a firing mechanism mounted thereto, the firing mechanism including a striker for striking the percussion cap, a hammer for driving the striker, and a trigger for tripping the hammer, the pivoting block being pivotal between a blocked position for firing and an unblocked position for providing access to the breech plug for removing a spent percussion cap and replacing it with a fresh percussion cap; and a lever movably mounted to the pivoting block for movement between a locked position locking the pivoting block in its blocked position, an unlocked, blocked position, and an unlocked, unblocked position, and wherein movement of the lever from the unlocked, blocked position to the unlocked, unblocked position moves the pivoting block from its blocked position to its unblocked position. 9. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 8 wherein the lever comprises a trigger guard. 10. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 9 wherein the trigger guard is pivotally mounted to the pivoting block. 11. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 10 wherein the trigger guard is held in its locked, blocked position by a spring clamp. 12. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 11 wherein the spring clamp tends to hold the trigger guard in its locked, blocked position, but does not apply a biasing force biasing The trigger guard against movement from the unlocked, blocked position toward the unlocked, unblocked position. 13. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 8 wherein the lever is biased toward its locked, blocked position by a biasing spring. 14. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 8 wherein the lever, when in its unlocked positions, is operative to prevent the trigger from being operated. 15. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 8 wherein the lever, when in its locked, blocked position engages a fixed barrier to prevent the pivoting block from moving from the blocked position to the unblocked position. 16. A muzzle-loading firearm as claimed in claim 10 wherein as the trigger guard moves from its locked position to its unlocked, blocked position it pivots relative to the pivoting block and wherein as the trigger guard moves from its unlocked, blocked position to its unlocked, unblocked position, the trigger guard and the pivoting block pivot together relative to the barrel.
