Sorry about creating all this confusion. Is there a diagram for coil mains spring muzzle loaders like mike out there? So if you guys dont think theres a problem with the mainspring, my best bet is to try different brand nipples with different caps?

I just found a Thompson Center Mainspring at Dixie Gun Works and ordered one. I'll see if that makes a difference.

FFg. I haven't done anything stupid other than not clean between shots.

I thought the caps were bad too so I bought a new CCI container. Wasn't the caps. I hope I don't appear to want to contradict everyone, but I have been trying to fix this thing on and off for 2 years. Here's a link to a video of the spring clicking without the frizen: Clicking spring. If...

Here is a link to the bulge I am refering too. It is very exagerated because of the light in the back. As I said, about .010-.005. Bulged breach. I absolutely know for a fact that the load was no more than 90 grains. The only cause for the bulge in my mind is because I did not clean at all...

Hi folks, I have had a consistent problem ever since I inherited my father's Hawkin replica. I think I caused the problem. When I first took the gun out, I shot 10 shots in a row, without cleaning between shots. On the next shot, something (bad) happened and the hammer was shot backwards and...

Happy thanksgiving to all the USAens out there! I'm fairly new to the sport. I inherited my dad's Euroarms Hawkins rifle and for some weird reason I enjoy the calmness of the sport more than regular shooting. I guess I know I'm saving money by taking my time! I have about 200 lbs of lead to use...
