where to find musket nipple to fit TC Hawkin 50 cal.

Good for ya....

Some folks on here are quite strongly opinionated and never pass up a chance to pound their chest on the proverbial soap box.

Thank you guys! I got one ordered......

Buy two or more to save on shipping charges.

Re- inactor musket caps on Amazon but spendy

The re-enactor caps from CCI are garbage. They are extremely weak. I have read they are intended for blank fire with a bored out nipple. The idea is to prevent fragments that can bother other blank shooters. Based on their poor reputation would not but them at any price.

Sharps rifles/carbines have a pretty twisty flash channel, so I am not surprised at you having some difficulty with ignition. Glad you found a solution.

Which Sharps carbine do you have? I've been thinkin' 'bout gettin' me one.

My carbine is a Pedersoli the Robinson Confederate copy with brass forearm band and but plate.
it has the following modifications.
Hahn Machine Works breech modification
Lyman bead front sight
Marble "Bullseye" rear sight
It is chambered for the 1.5" Hahn tube and with about 45 grains of FFg and the Moose ringtail bullet is hunting accurate out to 75 yards the length of my range. The 75 yard target is a steel 10"x16" and can be hit with regularity from a rest.
Great gun love to shoot it.
