Guys,
I need some help here. I'm having problems with my new to me Old Army. I think The issue is related to the percussion caps, but I'm not sure. When I cap the nipples just with finger pressure, they will not fire. I can cock and pull the trigger on one full revolution of the cylinder, after that then some fire, some don't. Its like the hammer is seating the caps . I tried seating them a tad harder with a wooden dowel, it seemed to help a little, still inconsistent. The caps I have tried were CCI #10 and #11. Same problem with both types. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions/recommendations? Try a different brand primer? Get different/better nipples? This is getting frustrating!
