Mike ScottIt's a basic underhammer muzzleloader action built on the largish side. Ignition is extremely reliable and the top of the gun does not have a hammer spur to spike you during recoil. The trigger guard acts as the hammer spring. It's an interesting mechanism but not as common as the sidehammer. As for cheap, you are buying a "kit gun". Mine was the first one that Bruce put together and I like the way mine looks a lot more than the one in this picture. He did a good job for me and I would go back for more custom muzzleloader stuff from him.
If you don't like the style of this one, October Country makes a nice one for about $3000....

GrandpasezYep, old time elegance. But I am not fond of muzzleloading
and cleaning black powder firearms.Ed.

JohnTheGreekI also like the underhammer actions. I think producing one in a 4-bore, however, defeats the purpose of the trim action. I think the 8-bore he is also selling my be a neat "little" rifle assuming the barrel diameter is smaller.
Best,
