Traditions Shenendoha

[Matt B]

Sorry if I butchered the spelling on the model... :grin:

I've noticed this model in the catalogs has a set trigger, or two triggers. Mine has a single trigger. Just wondered who has this model and if you have one or two triggers on it.

Thanks.

:v I have the Shenandoah in .36 calibre percussion--- and it has two (2) triggers :hatsoff:

Mines a 50 cal. I didn't put that in the first post. I love to shoot this rifle. It's pretty darn accurate as well. Thanks for replying and the correct spelling.

That's why I married an english teacher. :grin:

All of those I've seen had double set triggers.

Ive got a 50 flintlock,it had 2 triggers.I cut the rear flush and adjusted the front to around 3# pull.Could not hardly get my finger in there with a glove on with out just about touching it off.I gots big fingers :haha:

Like Pasquenel I have a .36 cal. but mines in Flint and it too has double triggers. It shoots a lot better than I can and about two years old. How old is yours?

 

[Matt B]

Mine is three years old. It was brand new out of the box. It seems like the trigger needs to be tightened some times, but I like the gun. It was my upgrade from my CVA hawken. I still like shooting that one as well.

How does the .36cal Shenendoah shoot for you guys? I have been wanting a .36 rifle for a while now, something to fill the gap between my .32 and .45.

Never found one I can hold or look at, so also want to know how the barrel comes off for cleanup?

I know the Crockett rifles have a tang screw thats actually threaded into the trigger guard instead of the wood stock, does the Shenendoah use this same method or is it a hooked breech barrel?

Thanks

I found that the Shenandoah shot quite nicely out of the box---I haven't spent a lot of time developing a "load" as it were---but 35 gr. of Swiss fffg & a bore cut patch---gave me as much accuracy I could ever want. I had to tap the rear sight to the left to bring the gun into centre with a 6 o'clock hold. As far as barrel disassembly---I don't think I would attempt that as it seems that the barrel pins are in back of inlayed brass covers. :hatsoff:

 

[CoyoteJoe]

The barrel attachment is like most long rifles, screw through the tang into the trigger plate and two pins through the forstock.
