I started out muzzleloading with an inline (sorry) last year. did not take me long to decide I wanted an sidelock. got a deal on an tc new englander. so I took my birthday money and bought it.
first range session with it was very short. 3 or 4 shots. then rain started.
barrel a pitted. so I took some jb bore paste to the bore.
first real range session with it. started having problems with it. I could did not hold a group with a darn. the following session. started to get really pissing me off. no matter what patch I used it would not group, more then half the time could not even hit the target.
finally, broke down and sent it to tc to work on it. two weeks later, I got it back. they replace a number of parts at no charge. that made my wife very happy. last week, got it back to the range for a session. I was having a decent range session with it. until I starting having hammer hitting the cap. it would take 3 hits to set off the cap. when I had 2 delays in a row. I started look at the nipple. it was flatten and could not even get a cap on it. packed the it up and started on another muzzleloader.
that is the story of that gun. I sent some nipples off for a modding. should be back at the range in a week or 2. to see if the nipple was my problem.
