Parson John Tourmann, #67768 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 One of our shooters is also a Civil War reenactor. Confederate farm boy, so the Hawkin. needs the Musket nipple because they are easier to load? Parson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old cva hawken that had misfire issues with the stock nipple that took pistol caps. I changed it out to the one that accepts musket caps and haven’t had a misfire since. Just be sure to get the right thread. The cva thread is 6x1mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Not positive, but pretty sure a musket nipple will be way to large for a Hawkin. Both for the bolster and the hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Sackett Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Yep. Change nipples and use either. I swapped out my TC Renegade from # 11’s to musket caps but changing the nipples. Works great! Sam Sackett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both for the bolster and the hammer. I have changed over to musket nipples on a custom built .54 cal Hawkin rifle and a .54 cal Lyman Plains pistol. Both work perfectly using musket caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
