It was a muzzle loading rifle. So what am I missing here? It was a muzzle-loader, smooth bore, no rifling grooves on the projectile, so how do they identify it. Enlighten us all.

Muzzle-loader does not equal smooth bore, rifled versions have been around for 150 years.

The Kentucky was first developed in the 1740s to 1750s and was a rifled muzzle loaded weapon. So are you saying that you have only heard of smooth bore muzzle-loaders?
