Any pictures? Im always looking for a new rifle to buy

I never heard of the rifle but that is not a big surprise. If you have pictures of it, post them please. Traditions have traditional model muzzleloaders on all ends of the price list, from very cheap to very expensive (compared to some). It would be interesting to know why this model went down the way of many. As for its value, without knowing the rifle I could not say or guess. Flintlocks are getting harder to come by, but quality is quality. This is especially true when dealing with the locks on these rifles.

Sounds like its a Percussion rifle. Heres a pic of a flintlock and a percussion lock. Very bottom rifle is the Flintlock, Top rifle is a percussion lock.

Heres a closer pic of the flintlock.

Hey GOOSE, why don't you just ship it to me and I'll send you what it's worth after I've seen it.

Cross my heart and hope to die (laughing).

Hope he isn't planning on selling it to screw someone else over like he did with me after he said he would buy my AR and then didn't respond to any further communications about it.

Lying worthless cheat.

I would say that was to much. Ive had many people tell me they were going to buy something and after doing all the work to getting the part out and boxed and a shipping quote, they never email back. Just one of those things where u have to shrug it off and just put it back in line for another person.

Rodney, what part of Colorado you from?

Western Slope but moving to the front range currently.

I guess I was raised that a man is only as good as his word. That would make Goosebuster worthless.
