Crockett Rifle Range Day - Testing the completed kit and fixing issues

Small Caliber Arms Review

Two months after putting the Traditions kit together, I take it out to the range to test and fine tune the fruits of my labor. I found it necessary to shim the back of the barrel up to ensure good hammer to nipple contact.

As someone that has not yet built a BP firearm from a kit this video is really informative. Your dialogue is very thorough and makes everything very easy to understand. Great job and congratulations on a nice little rifle.

Old wives tale, no air gaps. Everything Black Powder has a video on exactly that

Nice build!

That’s pretty cool! I’ve never shot a .32-caliber muzzleloader. I’ve only shot the big ones, but this looks fun!

I have wanted one for so long

Very interesting video Richard , looks a really enjoyable little rifle .... Probably wouldn't take it Spotlighting tho , ha ha.

Good video. I liked the different camera angles when firing the rifle. I thought there would be a lot more smoke. I liked also that you showed the work you were doing to fix issues as you tested out the rifle.

Thanks for the video / memories. I started out with a CVA squirrel rifle.32 .I went to a spitfire nipple from Mountainstate Muzzleloading. Not one hiccup after that. Lol this was back in the 80’s.My rifle liked 23grs. 3f
