Introducing the DNA Firearm Systems Ezekiel / Origin Smokeless Muzzleloader
Our newest smokeless build combines the rugged reliability of the Zermatt Origin action with the precision of Brux cut-rifled barrels, custom contours, and the proven smokeless ignition breech system.
Why Our Smokeless Muzzleloader Stands Out
✔ Brux Barrels – available in .40, .45, and .50 caliber, multiple contours, and cut-rifled precision
✔ Bighorn Arms, Origin, Short Action – rigid, reliable, and built for repeatability
✔ Smokeless Ignition Breech Plug – engineered for consistent ignition and longevity
✔ TriggerTech Triggers – single-stage, crisp, predictable
✔ Premium Stocks – Foundation Stocks, Ezekiel
✔ Hawkins Precision Bottom Metal – secure magazine interface and rugged reliability
Everything is built with long-range performance, safety, and stability in mind.
DNA Firearm Systems Ezekiel / Origin Smokeless Muzzleloader Changes the Game
Muzzleloader hunting has come a long way. The old image of a sidelock, loose powder, and unreliable ignition is still part of hunting history—but modern muzzleloaders are a completely different breed. And at the very top of that evolution sits the smokeless muzzleloader.
Whether you’re new to muzzleloading or looking to upgrade before the next season, here’s a quick look at how traditional muzzleloaders compare to smokeless systems—and why our new DNA Firearm Systems Ezekiel / Origin Smokeless Muzzleloader is redefining what a front-loader can be.
Traditional Muzzleloaders
Traditional in-line muzzleloaders are what most hunters are familiar with. They typically use:
Black powder or black-powder substitutes (like Pyrodex, Triple Seven, or Blackhorn 209)
Saboted or full-bore projectiles
209 primer ignition
Benefits
Easy to find components
Simple ignition system
Great for states that require primitive-only setups
Affordable entry cost
Limitations
Lower velocities and shorter effective range
Powder sensitivity to weather
Fouling that builds shot-to-shot
Limited precision due to powder inconsistency
For many hunters, a well-tuned traditional muzzleloader performs well out to 150–200 yards. But for those who want more—much more—smokeless systems exist in a different category entirely.
Smokeless Muzzleloaders
A smokeless muzzleloader isn’t just an upgraded traditional setup. It’s an engineered system built from the ground up to safely fire smokeless powder in a front-loading configuration.
These rifles must be built with premium actions, barrels, breech plugs, and materials capable of handling centerfire-level pressures.
Advantages
Higher velocities — often exceeding 3,000+ FPS depending on load
Extended effective range — 300–600 yards is realistic
Cleaner shooting — no fouling buildup like black powder
Better ES/SD numbers — more consistent long-range accuracy
Centerfire-grade actions & premium barrels
The result? A muzzleloader that performs like a precision rifle… with the added benefit of muzzleloader-season opportunity.
Who Benefits From a Smokeless Muzzleloader?
A long-range hunter
Someone who wants flatter trajectory and more energy
Hunting in a season that restricts centerfire rifles
If you are looking for a high-performance, low-maintenance muzzleloader…a smokeless system is the clear winner.
Traditional muzzleloaders still serve their purpose—and for many hunters, they’re all that’s needed. But for those who want next-level performance, long-range capability, and extreme consistency, the smokeless muzzleloader stands alone.
The DNA Firearm Systems Ezekiel / Origin Smokeless Muzzleloader brings together elite components, custom machining, and long-range engineering to deliver one of the most capable front-loading rifles ever built.
If you’re ready to step into the next generation of muzzleloader rifles—we’re ready to build yours.
