Visible musket cap?

[lots2hunt]

Sorry for my ignorance as I'm trying to learn muzzleloaders. I've read past threads on Idaho legal muzzleloaders but something I don't understand is with inline muzzleloaders that use musket caps or #11's are they visible? I ask as the Idaho law states, "Is equipped with an ignition system in which any portion of the cap is clearly exposed and visible when the hammer of the weapon is cocked and ready to fire." I'm assuming that the cap is visible as many posts I've seen are using a inline bolt muzzleloader, mostly Knights, but we know what they say about assuming.

Thanks for any help.

I don't know about the Knight's, but my Traditions NW Magnum has a portion of the breech plug that is machined out to expose a portion of the musket cap.

Traditions Northwest Accelerator Breech Plug removes in 3 turns by hand and requires no tools! Works ONLY with Northwest Magnum Accelerator models. The Northwest Accelerator Breech Plug is not interchangable with 209 Accelerator models. You cannot switch the breech plug to change the ignition...

To make them Northwest legal, the various manufacturers simply machine out a notch or hole so it is exposed to the weather. The picture below is the CVA Optima NW Legal rifle, and you can see the hole thru the breech plug.
