Hey guys new member here from N Fl. I have three rifles and cap n balls now and have been into black powder for a while. I do have a question though. I recently got a tc hawken but it has a mag spark on it. I had to look up what they were, but I dont like it nor do I have primers for it. The hex slit in the nipple stripped when I tried to break it loose. Anybody have any tricks to getting it out or will it have to be drilled?

Post this in the percussion rifle thread.

Where folks can help you.

And.....Welcome.
 
When you do get it off you will want a 1/4 × 28 thread nipple. Track of the wolf has them specifically for the TC. Doesn't have to be tc specific but the tc one has a shorter neck to accommodate a nipple wrench due to the low 1/2 cocktail position of the tc lock.

Thank you I ordered a replacement nipple and a new ramrod really excited to shoot this thing. I have a .45 flintlock as well but cant find any local black powder to shoot it with. An order from scheutzen will happen soon.
