Title: ??Tradition Vortex??
Post by: wackum on September 30, 2012, 03:50:07 PM: I went in to buy a spare breach plug and nipple and I dont see what im looking for so I ask the guy working for little help. He hands me a breach blug and nipple.The breach says right on the package not for use in break opens and the nipples are completely different.
I question him on it and he tells me these are the only replacement breaches traditions sell and the nipples are compatible with that breach.
Has anybody else ran into this or used this set up or is this a crock?

Post by: Jrzbullelk on October 01, 2012, 05:48:14 PM: I wouldn't change the nipple to a #11 if it came with a musket because i have read in a couple of places that doing that may cause misfires just my :twocents:

Yeah, I have no intentions of changing it to a #11.
I have heard to many bad stories, not going to take those chances.
Thanks
