Traditions 2020 Muzzle Loading Line | New Muzzle Loaders for 2020

We catch up with Alison Hall from Traditions Firearms to hear about their line of muzzleloaders for hunters, reenactors, hobbyists, and more.

Traditions made waves at the SHOT Show this year with the introduction of their new Nitro Fire Rifle. But the Nitro Fire isn’t the only thing Traditions is bringing to muzzleloading enthusiasts this year.

Traditions are keeping up as one of few manufacturers still making a more “Traditional” line of muzzleloading firearms. Their variety of sidelock muzzleloaders gives the budding traditionalist several options to choose from but also gives some options to someone wanting to extend their hunting season or try something a bit harder than a modern rifle.
