Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Austin and Halleck?

does anyone know anything about these muzzleloaders? Worked on a mans car for him and he couldnt pay me so he gave me this instead. I've never heard of them. Anyone?

Its one of the best an more expence ones

it seems to be well built, just needs a little tlc. Has a Timney trigger in it also. Im gonna clean it up and see what she'll do

Good market for them if you want to sell it.

I probably will sell or trade it once I get it cleaned up a bit

They were built in Utah I have not seen any advertisement from the company in a while. They sold for around $650 a few years ago. They had Hart barrels, timney triggers ,beautiful stocks with accuracy guarantee.

this one says weston missouri on it and its the synthetic one. If they cost that much, im gonna give someone a helluva deal.lol

Keeki can you post a picture or email one. I went back researching my old brochures from the 2005 shot show in Las Vegas and found it. The address listed is : 2122 South 950 East, Provo, UT. 84606-6285. Tel. 877-543-3256. I'am not sure if they relocated from or to Weston Missouri or if they are still .in bussiness or bought the buss. name for that matter. Good luck in your research. What are you asking in trade or $.

i believe they are out of business but they were pretty good rifles abeit expensive when they were produced. i am assuming you are speaking of the inline version. i sold several of them and they clients are still shooting them. precision bullets in canada sell the 209 conversion kit for them.

I'll get some pics up today but im thinking that they were made in Utah and missouri

Great guns. I have two of their in-lines. They made both primitive and in-line. Based out of Missouri but went out of business a few years ago. They shoot extremely well but are long and quite heavy. You can look to get a wood stock that really dresses them up.

Yea, they went out of business about 5 years ago, I've had 4 of them, they had them in .50 & .45 in the in lines. super accurate, but a tad heavy. Wish I would have kept them, they had some models with gorgeous wood.

yes they are a little on the large side.lol. I put it beside my optima and it just swallows it up.

thought about keeping it just because its kinda unique, but I dont shoot muzzleloaders much anymore and I can hardly walk in my gun room now.

Matter of fact if anyone is interested, I'll sell or trade the Austin & Halleck and the CVA Optima.

PM inbound.

It was a Utah company, and was based in Utah, however the Missouri store from my knowledge was just a satellite store. From my understanding (and yes I live in Utah), was all the warranty work came back here, meaning the manufacturing facility was right here in Utah. Yes they are out of business, and no warranty work is available now that I know of.

Great gun, but I think they did better in the traditional series verses the inline.
