I picked up a use Traditions Buckstalker from 2004 (I think) a few years ago for cheap. While looking around to determine the year of manufacture I stumbled across this website about issues with in-lines made using Spanish barrels. Spain Barrels CVA / Traditions

I’ve shot this thing 15 times or more keeping it sighted in. The load used is 2@50gr pellets behind a power belt sabot bullet. Reading the linked story makes me worried about shooting it at all now. Not too comforting to think about when squeezing off a shot.
