    Help identifying this Traditions rifle

    Yes sir, you have got it right. It's a muzzleloading Creedmore Henry rifle. Actually in the 80s they were manufactured by a couple of artisans from Eibar (the gunsmithing city of Spain), whose workshop signed the weapons with the name of A.M.R. (initials of gunsmith Antonio Marcos Relea). He...

    Using Musket Caps

    Hello. In the Youtube video of this American citizen, or maybe Canadian, he looks like a large four-winged caps on normal nipples. Also in a Kentucky rifle from Ardesa, one of those manufactured here in Spain. It is a good idea to shoot at the shooting range, because by not moving the cap does...

    Using Musket Caps

    Hello, I live in Spain, I ask myself the same question. In Europe there is no longer any gun shop that has No. 11 primers, either RWS, German, or CCI, American. But they still have 4 wing caps. The musket ones. My question is, would it be possible to adapt these primers to the normal nipples of...

    jukar flintlock pistol

    Hello. I write from Spain. You may find it cheaper to buy a complete lock, for example like the one used by Ardesa's (Traditions) Pennsylvania rifle. With very little work on the wood of the stock you will be able to place it and you will have a lock with a wider frizzen and that gives very good...

    Traditions Locks

    Hello. The lock that Ardesa (Traditions) puts on the Pennsylvania rifle is the best of the ones they make, as it has a wider frizzen and the lock has a fly and bridle. He also uses that same lock on the "Pirate" model pistol, but on said pistol he does not place either a fly or a bridle. It also...

    Spanish Escopeta

    Hello, since I am Spanish, I would like to say something about that shotgun. We will start by saying that in addition to the books by Neal and Lavin, we must cite "Spanish Military Weapons in Colonial America, 1700-1821", by Brinckerhoff, Sydney B. and Chamberlain. Also in volume I of the work...

    Spanish 1757 Replica Musket

    Hello. On this subject there are already good books written about the contribution of Spain, and its King Carlos III, to the Independence of the USA. Also about the importance of Bernardo de Gálvez. Today we know that Spain sent: "Through the Bilbao company of José Gardoqui e Hijos, 215 bronze...

    Traditions flitlocks

    Hello. As some colleagues on the forum commented, Ardesa has improved its flintlocks for some rifle models. For example, the one that has been put in the 50 caliber Pennsylvania rifle in recent years. It has a wider frizzen and a good geometry of the ****. A good way to have a flintlock weapon...

    Spanish 1757 Replica Musket

    Hello mate. If you look at the photo you put, there is a number, which is the number of the weapon, 02006, but just to its left there is another mark, C*2. That mark corresponds to the year 1983, which is when that musket was tested. Then it was either manufactured in 1983 or at the end of 1982...

    Have a Kentucky pistol kit missing the flintlock. What can I use???????

    Hello. I hope I can help from Spain. The flint lock of the Kentucky pistol from CVA (Dikar) is exactly the same as the one from Traditions (Ardesa). Order a flint lock from Traditions in the United States and you have solved the problem. The lock used by the Pennsylvania rifle or the...

    Newest CVA Mountain Rifle

    Very good rifle, made in Spain by Dikar. If you want to know the year of manufacture, I can help you, because I have a "Big Bore" of 58 caliber, and since I live in Spain I can give you information. Best regards.

    CVA Mountain Pistol production date.

    Hello. That is what I was referring to. For example, and in this case, Y 1 indicates that it was manufactured and tested in 1978. Greetings from Spain.

    CVA Mountain Pistol production date.

    Hello. You are right. There are few data to know more about the pistol. If you have the ramrod pipes hexagonal in shape, it is very possible that they were the first pistols made. Or maybe they were originally made in America. I have a Dikar catalog from 1980 and that pistol appears in that...

    CVA Mountain Pistol production date.

    Hello. The CVA Mountain pistol was manufactured in Spain by Dikar. If you disassemble the barrel, it must have the marks from the Eibar test bench and from the letters on the stamps, I can tell you what year it was manufactured. But you have to take pictures of the barrel of the gun. Kind...

    Flintlock half stock

    The new "Mountain" rifle manufactured by Ardesa (in Spain) for Traditions, in 50 caliber and with a twist in 48", is also a good option in flintlock, as Ardesa has greatly improved the quality of its flint locks. It has a great relation between price and quality. Another option is the flintlock...

    Spanish 1757 Replica Musket

    Hello. I could not tell. I have no knowledge of bayonets, but it may be a reproduction of the original vintage marks. That is if the bayonet is a modern replica. In fact, next to the town of Eibar is the town of Ermua, famous in the North of Spain for its manufacture of knives. The Ermua company...
