AJ Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 CVA is supposed to release a new gun this fall called the Electra. It does not use a primer or cap, but has an electronic ignition that is powered by a 9v battery. The trigger is basically an electronic switch. Lock time is almost instantaneous. Remington did something similar with the 700 Etronix a while back and it was a flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plannerman Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? Wo, can't wait to see how many states refuse to allow that type of tecnhology. Here in MN, "the Land of 10,000 Laws", that surely could never be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowana Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? Now thats interesting.......you wouldn't think it would generate a hot enough flash....but then again look whats happened with stun guns/tazers. Where the remington primer had to be a part of the system, does not seem like this would be so with blackpowder. I'll visit CVA at the shot show next Thus and report back.

PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? Everything must have been thought of and tried and now they are going back to work the flops. Wonder if they are going to have a battery meter on it too.

LETMGROW Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? Where will it stop? If we allow the MZ. to get anymore sophisticated we may find ourselves standing outside looking in. There are enough complaints already about the technology overtaking the traditional operation.

Chrud Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? I don't know about that...doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Inlines are pretty high tech for muzzleloaders, but at least you still need the "basic" equipment to fire it. Replacing a primer with a battery....I don't think that should be considered a muzzleloader at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plannerman Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? I'm waiting for the muzzleloading lazer rifle. You know the type, instantly and without recoil kills, cuts, wraps and freezes all critters while you watch thru the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnatecsteve Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? That just ain't right! Sorry if it offends anyone, but I hope Indiana bans this type of gun if it hits the market...just my 2 cents.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooBear Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? I mostly hunt with flinters and sidelocks with a patched round ball. I felt the same about in-lines as you guys seem to feel about this new ignition system. One day I decided live and let live! I can shoot my guns and you can shoot yours. If it loads from the front its a muzzleloader. We are all on the same team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WABS Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? Loads from the front -- only one shot, you better make it count. If it doesn't make you a better shot / hunter it isn't going to make much difference. Shoot whatever is legal, but I'll stick to my T/C Blackdiamond.

AJ Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? WOW! You know, I'll bet dollars to donuts this thread would have similar replies if it was posted 20 some years ago when Knight came out with the inline. Or how about when the 209 primer was used as an ignition source. Or 7 years ago when Savage released the smokeless muzzleloader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? And when we all get one, we'll never understand how we got along without it! If I can get the ignition hooked up to my 12 v. truck battery I know it will be even better! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnatecsteve Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? I understand your enthusiasm for newer improved muzzleloaders, and by all means I'm not trying to upset anyone, but....most states opened a muzzleloader season because of the primitive nature of the earlier percussion and flintlock muzzleloaders. I am just wondering that if in-lines become electronic...many states may revise their muzzleloader regulations and may begin to really look at in-lines as a totally different breed of rifle. I could be wrong, but we may be getting a little too high tech and may be sitting on the side-lines before long. I can't speak for the NMLRA, but I doubt that they would allow a gun with electronic ignition to be used at NMLRA shoots either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugger Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? Personally Im not for it or against it but here in indiana its muzzloader season not traditional firearms season. if it loads from the muzzle i say its a muzzleloader.

magnatecsteve Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? Technically you're correct, but like I said, whe the state STARTED the muzzleloader season, it was because of the disadvantages that muzzleloader hunters had at THAT time compared to modern firearms. Do todays modern in-lines have those same disadvantages? Heck no, if anything, modern in-lines have the upper hand on the average shotgun.

lil hunter Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? what happens if your battery is dead when that B&C buck walks out? I think I'd rather just have a primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad dryden Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Re: Another new step in muzzleloading? I would think it would be like a spark plug after so long you have to replace it but black powder smokes alot. Wonder if you would have to clean it after a few shots.
