Old Spain barreled in-lines warning

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.

get rid of it

My Traditions has excellent threads for the breech plug. I just read that article and although traditions barrels are made in Spain I see no mention of them. Disclaimer: I did speed read it.

Thank you for posting this as I am about to buy a muzzle loader. TC it is for me

Actually, I bought 2-3 of the CVAs under this issue years ago. CVA had a recall program. I sent them in, and they sent me brand new Wolf in lines at no charge. Worth looking into with Traditions.
