Traditions Shedhorn

[user 31232]

Saw a you tube video on the traditions shed horn muzzloader. New for 2023. Comes in flintlock or with a musket nipple. Synthetic and wooden stock. I believe a24 in barrel. Interesting thing is that the breech plug is removable much like an inline. Any comments or experiences if you've purchased one?

The idea was to blur the line between inlines and traditional muzzleloaders. The removable breech plug is more familiar to inline shooters and can be seen by some to make cleaning and removing a load easier.

I look it at it as a bridge for someone that will bring them to the next step which would be a traditional Hawken style rifle or even a flintlock. However, it seems the two camps are traditional and inline; each are set in their ways.

Honest,

The drum is not made to be removed it's the breech plug as seen in this picture . The reviews are positive from the few I've read, small market but some find it appealing and seem to like it. Traditions has several videos out on how it works , but it's pretty straight forward, other than the removable plugs it's the same as any other sidelock. Let us know what color pattern you go with , many to choose from.

So all it does is take the full breech/drum off in one piece from the barrel as an R&R?
Interesting how they have changed/adapted the hammer,,

Yeah, all marketing, w/"as typical", marketing lack of detail. (?)
