Hang fire using musket caps?

Super glad to hear that188mule!

Not done playing with it yet. Next step is to bed the lock plate then remove the hammer heat and bend it. I noticed my lock plate is only really touching at the front and back. It bends in the middle when I tighten it. To remedy this for the season I made a brass washer from the base of a 5.56 rifle case. Basically it slides over the lock screw between the lock and the wood. Spacer I guess.

There’s always something to tinker with my cva mountain rifle hawken style kept rolling the powder bolster, the standard #11 nipples are too soft and would start deforming after about 10 shots which caused the drum to move and miss fire, hang fire no fire so I went to the muskets to fix that shoots great now!
