Edge Report post Posted October 15, 2019 Friend bought a second hand Traditions Tracker 209. It has a nipple I'm not familiar with. It's too big to fit a #11 percussion cap and too small for a primer.What am I missing here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted October 15, 2019 The nipple on the YouTube video for the 209 primer looks larger. Sound like you need a different nipple possibly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I see you can get up to a #13 cap, some states don't allow primers on MLs. Can't find any cap locally.over size 11. Anyone know where they can be had? Hoping putting a 209 primer nipple works. Caps get smashed by the bolt to ignite, primers not so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also looking for anyone whom has done the conversion to 209 primer. Does the bolt have to be changed too? Bolt face is almost totally flat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biglakejake Report post Posted October 15, 2019 beginning to think the musket cap nipple was just hammered into place with a mallet. perhaps pry it out and the 209 pocket will be there. if you cannot remove the breech plug find someone who can. lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yotebuster Report post Posted October 15, 2019 Why can’t you just buy some musket caps for it? They make a lot of guns like that for the pacific NW states to be legal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jim Report post Posted October 15, 2019 Could it be one of the knight nipples that require one of the red plastic caps that the primer goes in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
