These use musket nipples. They are bigger then the regular nipples and take a musket nipple wrench. :D

Musket caps. 209 is just a shotgun primer and only for inline rifles. There are no.11 and no.10 and then musket. Musket nipples and caps are the biggest of all of them. If you are in a store you will see the difference. They should have all of the types except maybe no.10. I use musket caps on a lot of my side lock rifles. :D

Cool looking musket! Crazy what you find in the trash sometimes.

And many other firearms :D

What are you gonna trade him? This would definitely be a fun one to save, and start shooting. Those mini balls were devastating on men too, nasty business during the Civil War.

Sounds like a good trade to me. :crossedfingers: It looks like it would be a fun shooter.

Should sell easy if it is not rusted too much in the barrel. I looked up some and they averaged about 300-325 on sold rifles. Didn't pay anyattention to date though. :D
