.50 cal In-line Muzzle loader.

[G-force]

I bought myself a B/P hunting/target rifle.It is of the in-line type that uses a 209 shotgun primer for detonation.
Ardesa Traditions Pursuit Xlt.Made in Spain.
The barrel is nickel plated.I wanted stainless steel but this one comes nickel plated.The laminate is really nice and matches my wifes EV2 target airrifle.As yet I have not shot it but am planning to go tommorow.I bought 270gr Sabot bullets but these can be obtained in up to 500 I think.See the size difference next to a 10gr JSB pellet.

I, like i am sure, a lot of people hear muzzle loader and black powder, think of tower muskets and brown besses,and then something like this comes along and the eyes open, she is a beauty! and thanks for the photos!

Not to spoil any of your fun but If you do not have a shotgun already, I guess this is illegal because you are not allowed to have the primers. Or what is the story with the 209 primer and licensing?

I asked Johan at NSN,he says he may supply on a normal B/P permit.I do have a shottie liscence though.

Interesting and good to know. Hope it is legal though :)

I'm sure a gunshop will not risk losing their liscence for a packet of primers so it should be OK.
