Muzzle loaders legal in WA?

Austin Halleck? I think, but not 100% sure.

A&H are legal.........but A&H are out of business now.  I shoot an A&H when I'm not using my sidelock T/C Renegade.

traditions makes a break open and bolt action that's legal in wash. Not sure how good of guns they are but they look good. Does anyone have one? Would like to hear some feed back.   Also waiting for new regs

I have a traditions Thunder Bolt 50 cal. with bolt action.  There is about a 1/4" gap between the bolt and primer which allows it to be open to the elements.  Camo Synthetic with Nickel barrel.  I love the gun, never had any problems.  I would recommend it for Washington.

T/C blackdiamond 50 cal works well for me.If I was on the east side I would go more traditional.

How do they make a break action rifle that does NOT use 209 primers?

    they just put a nipple in the breech plug. and a open space about the size of   
     your little finger nail, above it so it exposed to the elements.

x2 on the T/C's.  Go stainless/composit if you are a wetsider.  You can still pick up NIB TC's (black diamond and system 1's) at a few brokers on the web.  I found a couple when I was looking for parts for my system 1.

Used TCs are prob OK too... so simple and hard to damage.

Most of the White inlines are legal in Washington, but good luck finding them since they are out of business, likely for good this time.

how about the winchester x150, I bought one 3-years ago seems like a nice gun but still haven't fired it yet. mostly bow hunt but used to muzzle hunt years ago with a t/c renegade. would appreciate anyones feedback that has had experience with this model of muzzleloader. I think I just need to change the nipple for #11 caps, and its legal.     can't tell you how many time bowhunting I have said could have killed him if I had a muzzleloader!

  I do. And I have a TC sidelock as well. I  had just mentioned I didnt know if the Austin Halleck was legal here.

My cousin has one of these Tradition's Prusuit Northwest edition muzzle loader. And after this last weekend, he might be willing to sell it to you.  Since he bought it he has had nothing but problems with it not firing on the first shot.  He has replaced the nipple on it. After several test fires that worked fine, he thought it was fixed.  Well needless to say. He had a big doe in his sights at thirty yards perfectly broadside and the gun didn't go off.  The sound of the hammer dropping was enough to make the deer run off without a follow up shot.  He  wasn't to happy with it and will be making a call to Traditions to let them know how he feels.

On another note. I have a T/C Black Diamond XR and love it. I've found that it shots good, and it's easy to clean. Kinda wish they still made them. I might have to go and find another one for the wife.

Just checked out the new Traditions Inline .50cal. at Four Corners. It has a notch cut above the nipple, to expose it to the elements. making it Legal in WA. Nipple is set up for #11 caps also. Nice Gun!! Reports are 2 1/2" groups at 200 yards, by 2 different guuys and 2 different guns. Good shooters out of the box! Just thought I`d pass the info along.

Thats the same gun that my cousin is having problems with. I don't know if he just got a bad gun from the start.  So far traditions hasn't been very helpful in resolving the issue.
