- Traditions Kentucky Rifle (Percussion, .50 BPM)
The 33.5 in octagonal barrel and 1:66 twist are set up for traditional patched round ball performance. This configuration pairs well with black powder or approved substitutes only, as specified by the manufacturer.
The rifle uses a percussion sidelock action with a single trigger and a 13.0 in length of pull. It is a single-shot muzzleloader with a capacity of one round.
Sighting is straightforward with iron sights: a dovetailed brass blade front and a dovetailed open rear, both set into the barrel for a traditional sight picture.
Period-style details include a full-length, two-piece hardwood stock with a brass spacer and brass furniture—crescent buttplate, toe plate, trigger guard, nose cap, and ramrod thimbles. Factory foliate engraving decorates the lockplate and hammer.
This reproduction is made in Spain and carries a CIP proof mark alongside "MADE IN SPAIN" markings, aligning with its documented country of origin.
