Howdy,
I'm having a bit of trouble with a .50 cal TC Hawken bought used online awhile back. I have been frustrated with the frequency of misfires. The nipple is clean and clear, and a pipe cleaner indicates there aren't any obstructions blocking the fire's path to the powder charge. I'm thinking of getting a replacement nipple that would allow me to use musket caps. I've used CCI #11 caps thus far. I really like the rifle and would like to use it more often with confidence. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Cleburne
