Whilst blundering around the usual pawnshop circuit this weekend, I chanced upon a Traditions "Fox River Fifty". The metal is a funky silver color, but not paint-more like some kind of metal coating. The wood stock is painted black-also from the factory, I believe. The stock is cracked and repaired properly, and the bore is OK, but needs cleaning.
The sling swivel actually screws into a fixture attached to the barrel through the stock, and holds the barrel to the stock. There are no wedges. It's the dangdest thing I've ever seen.
I wsn't going to buy it, but since I did not have a rifle currently, and the shop sold it to me for $25, I couldn't pass it up.
I can find exactly nothing about these little guns on the 'net. Anybody know anything? Good, bad, indifferent?
Even if it's manure, I figure the lock is worth $25 for some other project if nothing else eh? :grin:
Also ran across a TC renegade .50 with a real iffy barrel and nice crack in the stock for $75. Wasn't sure if TC would replace the stock or no (it's cracked just above the where the lock screw goes). That one is still there, but may become mine later this week.
Traditional ML's are practically valueless here unless they are real sharp looking.
