Just asking...
« on: June 27, 2012, 10:32:18 PM »
Hi, I just joined this site and have a couple of noob questions. So far my only experience with black powder has been shooting C&B revolvers.  I'm thinking about getting a muzzle loader for the upcoming deer season and I would like some opinions.  Has anyone ordered from a place called The Possible Shop?  It looks like they deal exclusively with Traditions Firearms.  What is your opinion on Traditions muzzle loaders and any experiences dealing with the Possible Shop would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance,

traditions C&B revolvers are actually made by Pietta which is made in Italy. I hate brass frames and highly suggest you stay away from them. Go with a steel frame. Pretty nickel plated C&B's are brass frame so keep that in mind.

are yu asking about the traditions rifles? if so from what i have seen they are decent guns for the money but not of high quality.not to say they wont work jus fine and be accurate.if thats what it takes to get yu muzzy hunting then go for it.there are lots of better guns out there but i would not feel undergunned with a traditions gun that i had shot a lot and learned what it liked.im not familar with your supplier, bass pro here carrys the whole line i think.check them for a mail order price and see what yu get.

I really like my buckstalker.  Wishin I'd waited a year and gotten the one with the quick-release breechplug, but other than that, I only disliked the sights.  I put on an aftermarket set by TruGlo and love them.  ;)

If I were looking at their current line-up, though I'd really check out the Evolutions model.  It allows you to use 209, percussion caps or musket caps.  That's a nice feature.  I've heard good things on their accuracy also.
