I have a couple 50 cal CVA Wolf muzzleloaders.
I recently did some WT deer hunting and found out that the breech release opened when I was \'cradle carry\'.
It also opened up when the gun was slung over my shoulder if the release was bumped. And the primer would fall out

So, I decided to install a \'release guard\'

I had some aluminum strap, drill and tap and some 10:32 screws

It took about 30 minuted from start to finish

Here is my process - the pics should be mostly self-explanatory



 
The screw has to be flush to the underside of the receiver so it doesnt affect the locking of the barrel

 
Pretty slick. I\'ve never had that happen to me while hunting, but it sure won\'t happen to you.
 
I noticed that in your pic of the deer from Nebraska. I was going to ask about it. I have a CVA Acurra and have not had that problem. If I do I will keep your mod in mind.
