Nice shooting. I like the small tacks, makes a good grip.

Very nice, although, your first pic got "photobombed" might want to fix that, the others are awesome....

I like the little tacks too. Haven't seen that before. Looks like that rifle is a shooter!

Frontier, what is your general opinion of the Traditions percussion rifles? They are generally regarded as sort of low end, but I am thinking you have a few of them and like them.

Those prices are outrageous! For about 600 more I bought my bucket list flinter in kit form. Having looked at traditions stuff I wasn't impressed.

Traditions doesn't make anything. Their Hawken and other muzzle loading guns and kits are imported from Spain. Their Civil War rifles and kits are made by Armi Sport.

Chiappa. Muzzle-loaders.com and traditions confirmed it.
Ardesa makes their other kits we are used to seeing.
