The flash cups were added because someone found out the hard way that musket caps will blow over and burn your wrist. Don't ask me how I know. I would definitely go back to 11 nipples, ones with vent holes to stop the blowback.

Notice the ample clearance between the sear bar and the hole through the stock. image2.jpg |

maybe already answered didn't read each reply post.
Most likely the hammer is being blown back during firing. It happens. I doubt you are doing it while cocking, you would likely notice it. The blow back can be caused by a weak hammer spring, over charging and / or to big a flash hole in the nipple. Just my guess! |
