The Traditions NitroFire .50 Cal 209 Primer – 26" Gray Cerakote Fluted & Tapered Barrel, Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Black Fixed Synthetic Stock (Model CR84110440S, UPC: 040589029948) is a modern inline muzzleloader built for hunters who want simple loading, reliable ignition, and rugged all-weather performance. Purpose-designed around the Federal® Firestick™ system, this NitroFire configuration delivers accurate, consistent shots with a tough Gray Cerakote barrel and a clean, tactical-looking black synthetic stock.
If you’re ready to move beyond traditional loose powder and pellets, the NitroFire CR84110440S is a smart, low-maintenance upgrade that keeps your focus on the hunt—not the hassle.
Modern .50 Cal Muzzleloader Built Around the Firestick System
At the heart of this rifle is the groundbreaking Federal® Firestick™ encapsulated powder charge. The NitroFire was the first muzzleloader platform created from the ground up to use this system.
With the NitroFire:
You load the bullet from the muzzle, just like a traditional inline.
You insert the Firestick charge from the breech, with your 209 primer seated in the Firestick (primer and charges sold separately).
To unload, you simply remove the Firestick—no need to fire or pull the bullet.
Benefits of the Firestick™ system include:
Consistent pre-measured powder charges for repeatable performance.
Ignition that’s sealed from moisture, improving reliability in rain, snow, and humidity.
Easier, safer loading and unloading compared to loose powder or pellets.
For hunters who want maximum confidence when the shot finally presents itself, this ignition system is a game-changer.
26" Gray Cerakote Fluted & Tapered Barrel
This NitroFire model features a 26-inch fluted and tapered Chromoly steel barrel finished in Gray Cerakote for durability and performance:
Fluted barrel reduces overall weight and helps dissipate heat.
Tapered profile offers a good balance between stiffness and fast handling.
Gray Cerakote finish provides outstanding corrosion and wear resistance in harsh weather.
26" length is ideal for maximizing velocity and energy from your .50 caliber loads while still staying maneuverable in stands, blinds, and timber.
Whether you’re hunting early-season in the rain or late-season in the snow, this Cerakote barrel is built to stand up to the elements and keep on shooting.
VAPR™ Fast Twist Barrel for Improved Accuracy
Traditions equips many NitroFire models with their VAPR™ fast twist rifling, typically a 1:24" twist rate designed to stabilize a wider range of modern projectiles.
The advantages of the VAPR-style twist include:
Better stability for saboted bullets and heavier conicals.
Tighter groups downrange, especially at typical muzzleloader hunting distances.
More flexibility in bullet selection, allowing you to fine-tune your setup for deer, elk, or other big game.
Combined with the consistency of the Firestick charges, this barrel is engineered to deliver real hunting accuracy—shot after shot.
Drilled & Tapped Receiver – Optics Ready
The receiver is drilled and tapped, making this NitroFire ready for your favorite scope or optic:
Easily mount a 3–9x hunting scope, low-power variable (LPVO), or fixed-power optic.
Clean, no-iron-sight configuration gives you a dedicated optics platform.
Perfect for hunters who demand precise shot placement and want to take full advantage of modern muzzleloader ranges.
Just add rings and a scope base designed for the NitroFire/inline pattern, and you’re ready to sight in.
Black Fixed Synthetic Stock – Tough, Weather-Resistant & Lightweight
This CR84110440S configuration uses a black fixed synthetic stock, giving the rifle a clean, tactical look and real-world durability:
Synthetic construction resists warping, swelling, or cracking in wet or cold conditions.
Textured grip and forend provide a secure hold, even with gloves or wet hands.
Lightweight design keeps the rifle comfortable to carry during long walks or steep climbs.
Neutral black finish looks good with any optic and accessories and is easy to touch up and maintain.
If you’re hunting in rough terrain, thick brush, or unpredictable weather, a synthetic stock like this is a huge advantage over traditional wood.
Elite XT™ Trigger System – Clean, Consistent Break
Traditions’ Elite XT™ trigger system is designed specifically for safe, accurate hunting:
Provides a crisp, clean trigger break to help reduce pulled shots.
Includes a rebounding hammer for added safety.
Integrates a cross-block trigger safety, giving you an extra layer of security while moving in the field.
Combined with the break-open design and Firestick system, the Elite XT trigger helps you get the most accuracy possible from your NitroFire.
Break-Open Single-Shot Design with 209 Primer Ignition
Mechanically, the NitroFire is a break-open, single-shot muzzleloader:
Easy-to-use action release lets you open the rifle quickly to insert or remove the Firestick.
209 primer ignition via the Firestick gives you reliable, modern primer performance.
One-shot, one-opportunity mindset encourages careful shot selection and ethical hunting practices.
This simple, robust layout is ideal for hunters who value reliability and ease of operation, even with cold hands or gloves.
Balanced, Field-Ready Handling
With its fluted/tapered 26" barrel and lightweight synthetic stock, the NitroFire CR84110440S is designed for real-world hunting, not just bench shooting:
Balanced feel that shoulders quickly and naturally.
Long enough barrel for efficient powder burn and downrange performance.
Maneuverable enough for tight blinds, stands, and brushy setups.
Whether you’re still-hunting through woods or sitting over a field edge, this rifle is built to handle smoothly and confidently.
