Of course they have firing pins-thats what makes the cap go boom :dunno:
Are you serious.
A musket cap or percussion cap sits on a NIPPLE. The hammer (either on a inline or side hammer gun) has a FLAT spot that smacks the cap onto the nipple causing the gun to fire.
NO FIRING PIN on a non primer gun ;)
The only muzzlaoders with firing pins are set up for a 209 primer ignition system and not legal for Washington.

:yeah:
No firing pin, just a hammer. If your hammer is "pointed" it's probably meant for 209 primers.

:yeah: A hammer meant for musket or #11 should be flat not pointed, I sure would not wont to put a hole in the cap allowing the breach pressure to come back at my face! 209 Primers are that Primers not caps they need a pointed hammer or firing pin. :twocents:

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 guy 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: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:

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 ;)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.
