Where did you end up buying it at? Did it come with all three nipples or did you have to purchase them?
Blsum:

I purchased it at the Federalway wholesale sports for $239. It came with the 209 primer installed and the musket and #11 nipple also. It also came with all the tools to change out the 209 breach plug and it was very simple to do.

Oh I forgot to mention that. I went with the triple seven and plan on using 100 grains.

MAKE SURE you put breech plug grease on that new breech plug when you put it in your gun and on the threads of the nipple you use !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do it everytime you pull the nipple and breech plug
