Overview
The Traditions Crockett Rifle is a .32 caliber percussion muzzleloading rifle patterned after the small-bore squirrel rifles of the American frontier. It uses a 32-inch octagonal blued barrel with a 1:48 twist, a percussion lock, a double-set trigger housed in an oversized glove-fitting trigger guard, brass inlays, and fixed blade sights. The light-recoiling .32 ball makes it a popular choice for small game hunting and traditional target shooting.
