Do you consider the Traditions Deerhunter flintlock with synthetic stock to be a traditional muzzleloader? It is a flintlock after all.
I would call it not traditionally styled!I would call it…Traditionally Styled….
Like I said, it's an abomination, but not in a bad way. To go further, if you really think about it, what is the difference in a modern barrel using modern steel and a modern stock using modern materials? They are both anachronistic. The only difference is the looks. I say it's a historic abomination, but so are almost all of our reproductions. This one is just easier to visually identify.I guess it's traditional sort of, but I have a question. Synthetic stocks were developed to be water-resistant, wood warps. There isn't a flintlock out there that could be considered truly waterproof.
So you're wrapping a less than reliable ignition system with a stock that buried in the ground would still look the same 200 years from now?
Yeah, in it's essence.Do you consider the Traditions Deerhunter flintlock with synthetic stock to be a traditional muzzleloader? It is a flintlock after all.

But you know as well as everyone else that it's the bastard child of a second cousin.
