Traditions was showing at the Shot Show a new metal finish on several black powder models. Previously, cerakote was available, but since it's a spray-on stuff, it couldn't be sprayed inside the barels.
Here come Nitride finish for 2016. Since nitride is done in a bath, the bore is also covered with the finish. Traditions states it reduces or slows fouling, promotes easier reloading, improves accuracy and extends the life of the barrel.
There's also a nice new .model in the Traditions rimfire rifles, the "Crackshots"; 20 inch barrels are making their way into their lineup for 2016 (previously, only 16 1/2 inches were available). They also are introducing an "easy takedown" feature, and a "dual safety".
