So treated just like any other pistol? Has to have the 20" coat hanger welded to the butt?

No - the coat hangers don't apply to BP guns. Just another example of the stupid rules concerning handguns in different parts of the UK. Have a look at the Henry Krank catalogue (online) .... there are some really beautiful BP revolvers and pistols available, all without stupidly long barrels and coat hangers. Perhaps they are not scary enough to attract special attention.

I have a Ruger Old Army Stainless, which is a very reliable performer. Whenever we have a club shoot with muzzle loaders, it seems the Rugers are head and shoulders above original designs in terms of reliability.
