Nitride Rifles

Canadian muzzleloaders are sure to love the nitride coating added to select models in Traditions’ StrikerFire and Pursuit lines. Applied to both the inside and outside of the barrel, this new finish protects the metal from rust and pitting caused by harsh weather and corrosion, while contributing to improved accuracy and, ultimately, the life of the rifle.
