Traditions Durability?

[tenngun]

I’m picking up my brand new Traditions Crockett .32 🐿 rifle tomorrow from my dealers. Mandatory stupid Illinois 3 day waiting period and 4473 paperwork, yes even for muzzleloaders. No I can’t move away right now LOL wish I could.

Anyway, I handled the little rifle and looked it over whilst filling out the paperwork the other day and I was taken at the fit and finish, it was a cut above what I was expecting for sure. Tested the lock and the set triggers, worked properly. Hammer cup centered properly on the nipple, no bent sights, etc.

But how is the durability of the lock and triggers mechanisms on these new Traditions guns? I hear the barrels are good and these can be very accurate, but should I be concerned about parts breakages? Any source for spare parts?

Thanks!

Life time, but…. Even the best springs can break for seemingly no reason.
You may need to replace the nipple at times and ramrod

I have an Ardesa (the Spanish maker who makes Traditions) from 1990, works like new.

But it never hurts to stock up on main leaf springs as they do get tired after 20 years or so.

Traditions percussion locks are very reliable, but it wouldn’t hurt to pick up a spare mainspring & sear spring from the Log Cabin Shop or Deer Creek.
