Where can I buy Nipples?

Recommended Posts

Thanks! It's not a big deal, my new Cabela's Sporterized Hawken Rifle doesn't like to fire until the cap is hit twice. I found a few posts here and there on the internet with a lot of people having the same problem. Some people said once they changed the nipple, it worked fine, and other people said they tried Remington caps instead of CCI.

 

I was trying CCI #11M Magnum because that's what the guy at Cabelas said to use. I got some regular #11 Remington Caps today at lunch time, I'll try firing off a few caps when I get home to see if it makes any difference.

 

A guy at work says he uses the hammer to gently push the cap on the nipple to make sure it seats correctly. I will try that as well.

It's a brand new rifle, so anything is possible. I would think something would be binding rather than weak, but I'm going to try the Pushing the Cap on with the hammer and using the different caps tonight.

 

I only have a boy scout merit badge from about 12 years ago with regard to my muzzle loading training.. lol.. I don't remember having to push it on.. but maybe we did.

Try Dixie Gun Works..They usually have everything to get your problem LICKED. :oops:

 

they were out of stock.. lol.. i ended up ordering some from Cabela's.. but I also got some extras from deer creek, and I finally went to "the holy grail" of muzzleloading.. dixon's in Krumsville, PA..

 

Lol..

 

I swear these cheap muzzleloaders eat up all your cash in accessories faster than real guns.

    • Looking to pick up a Kriss vector  in 9mm.  Let me know what you got.   Thanks Chris  
    • If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.
    • Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
