She shoots so nice. I fired a couple rounds Friday .
We learn something every time we shoot a diferent type of BP gun,
What I learned Yesterday is you need to squeeeze the cap a bit to make it tight on the nipple. The nipples on this one are still like new, smooth and shiney on the outside.A loose percussion cap will be blown off 1 barrel when both hammers are cocked and you fire the other side. A simple squeeze of the caps skirt to create a friction fit when puting it on is an easy fix.

I think a Flint lock is a great way to avoid this tiny issue.

You can not have to many Flinters.
