Pulled the trigger today on my first black powder gun. Got a TC Hawkin... 50 cal, double set triggers, nice rifle.
Got to replace the nipple... some numb-nuts dry-fired it and peened over the end. Add to that the general impossibility of finding caps right now, and I decided to get one of the Mag-Spark nipples. I gots plenty of 209 primers. And if that doesn't work, I suppose I could always get one of the ones that uses small rifle primers... got a few thousand of those on hand too.
Once everything settles down, maybe I can get some #11 caps for it.... but until then at least I can make it go bang!
