yeah i think so too. my older brother in pa picked up the same model at his local walmart about 2 month's ago . same price but his did'nt have the t handle for the ram rod . he called traditions & they said on walmart models they don't include that . oh well now have a extra muzzleloader. one of my buddies ask if i was going to sell the older impact& i told him name your price. he has'nt got back to me yet
