Mr. 16 gauge,
Quigley gave you good advice: Check the bore for pitting or corrosion.
When I look over a used muzzleloader, I check the screw heads. If they are burred up, the bird head former owner did not know what he was about. Drop out the sidelock plate and check to see if former owner tried any adjustments of hammer/sear engagements. Reassemble and check the trigger pull. If the bore is ok, the lockplate stuff is ok and the trigger pull and set trigger function, then make an offer. Good hunting.
Adam
