Today I traded my 50 cal flintlock for a new Traditions 50 cal inline. It is one that uses the firestick so you only load the projectile in the the front of the barrel and the firestick in the breech.Didn't pick it up yet, they had to order it. I should get it the 1st week of January. Getting too old to hunt the dec/Jan flintlock season. Looking forward to next deer season. I bought one with a camo stock and the scope installed.
