The hammer is the firing pin-if the hammer didnt have a pin how would it fire :dunno: Of course it is not a tradition firing pin :twocents:

New to muzzle loading huh  :P
Sorry I dont mean to be rude but your post are 100% wrong.
If people dont know what they are talking about its better to just read a post than give bad advice.It could cause injury or worse to a poor ready that followed said advice.

By your logic when bow hunting the arrow is the bullet or how else do you kill the deer ;)
If there is a pin on the bolt when you pull the trigger it hits cap and BOOM No its not a spring loaded firing pin like a standard rifle-No I am not new But some people nit pick anything. I am wrong its not a standard firing pin but does the same thing :twocents:
-Mark you know what I ment, thanks! Firing pin/hammer whatever, same purpose.. Good thing Meats is on this forum or we never would have figured it out :rolleyes:

Thought I would see if I was as dumb as Meats said I am. Typed in Knight Bighorn firing pin and seems like I am not the only stupid guy around :dunno: :chuckle: :chuckle: Maybe Meats should research his mouth before it spouts off. Remember engage brain before shifting mouth into gear :chuckle: :chuckle:

Go to knight rifle website and search "firing pin".
Results in "No match"

Say what you want but you two goofs are WRONG.
Muzzle loaders have a hammer and nipple...............no firing pin.
Christ I sold knight rifles for a couple years and been shooting muzzle loaders for close to 30 years.
Please post a picture of this firing pin you speak of and I will admit I was wrong.
If you are wrong simply admit it and move on.....................sound good?

  I already did my point was is there is a pin or tit or bump or whatever you want to call it on the hammer and when it strikes the cap it fires :dunno ;)

Bighorn and Wolerine are the same guns with some minor differences....length of barrel for one. Bighorn comes with both 209 and percussion/musket cap option, Wolverine does not.  Everything interchanges...stocks, barrels etc.

skookumhntr, back to your original question I would suggest swapping out the musket cap on to your other rifle and try it with the flat faced hammer you should be ok if it doen't fire then start looking at other options just make sure you have the musket cap seated well on the nipple
