Traditions Flinter

[Kentuckywindage]

I gotta say, Traditions did a hell of a job on this new rifle they got out. Check out the wood! I am getting the itch really bad!

Pricey, yes. But, it also looks like they got a bigger lock on this rifle. Hard to tell from the pic.
Now i have to go shopping around to find it cheaper. http://www.traditionsfirearms.com/eshop/10Expand.asp?ProductCode=R911060

 

[Russ T Frizzen]

Looks like the old Austin and Halleck Mountain Rifle.

This rifle has been the subject before. Most agreed it is a nice looking rifle, but way too pricey. Especially for only a hard wood stock. If I remember right, the price was over $700. That's more than a T/C Hawken and way more that a Lyman GPR. Traditions is going to have to come down in price, is they want this to be a big seller. Just my thoughts.

the add posted says it has a 32 in barrel then says it has 28 in barrel---can't even get their add straight--

If it is the old Austin and Halleck Mountain Rifle.
I hope they improved the flint lock. on the old ones the jaw screw hit the Frizen before the flint.

I talked with Traditions at the SHOT show. Their new gun IS the Austin & Halleck, built on Austin & Halleck parts, etc. The only difference is they're not rust browned and the finish they're using is horrible. It looks exactly like parkerizing.

Griz, I have their flinter and I haven't had any problems with the jaw screw hitting the frizen. They did have some quality control issues though, so I wouldn't put it past them to have sent a few out like that.

This is the same gun and I have 3 of them in perc .50 roundball twist and they shoot great but you need a higher back sight , to use the one that came with the A&H you had to file the front sight down to little or nothing.
