Allison Hall from Traditions introduces the NitroFire muzzleloader, which, at the time of this release, is the only muzzleloader on the market that accepts the Federal FireStick. Impervious to moisture and fully self-encapsulated, the FireStick fits snugly into the breech of this 26-inch steel-barreled lightweight muzzleloader. With an Elite XT trigger, the NitroFire has a rebounding hammer, which allows one to break open the muzzleloader and remove the FireStick, to make the firearm safe. For more, view the video above. MSRP: $499-699; traditionsfirearms.com
