I'm not so sure about it fading away. Or at least around these parts.
Every year the crowds pack the Gunmaker's Fair up here so there seems to be lots of interest in the original guns.
To me, I'm shooting a part of history when I use my Pennsylvania Longrifle or Brown Bess.
Some guys may want to try something different than smokeless powder and the in-line gives them the opportunity to try burning charcoal in a simpler delivery platform.
I'd just never spend the money for an in-line. That would take the fun ( and nostalgia) out of the entire reason to use a flinter in the first place.
I've sorta slammed in-line users in the past and really shouldn't have. We're all gunowners first and shouldn't divide ourselves into groups that can be attacked by the Anti's. Like all of the semi owners were when the AWB went into effect.
