The Traditions .50 caliber percussion pistol kit offers enthusiasts the opportunity to immerse themselves in the authentic experience of muzzleloading. This hands-on project not only delivers a functional firearm but also instills a profound sense of accomplishment as you craft your own piece of history.
Featuring a robust 10-inch octagonal fixed tang barrel, this pistol is designed for precision and durability. The single trigger mechanism ensures simplicity and reliability, while the fixed blade sights are ideal for straightforward target acquisition. Constructed with select hardwoods, the stock provides an elegant finish that complements its historical design.
This kit comes pre-assembled at the factory to guarantee proper fit and ease during assembly, making it suitable for families or individuals looking to engage in a rewarding building process during those long winter nights. The comprehensive instructions ensure even novices can confidently build their firearm from start to finish.
For optimal performance, Traditions recommends using standard granulation black powder Pyrodex® P with revolver pistols and .38 caliber ammunition. However, please note that black powder firearms cannot be shipped to certain U.S. states or Canada due to legal restrictions.
