Title: Traditions Evolution ML- Question if anyone has one
Post by: kirkl on September 21, 2011, 07:15:05 PM: the #11 cap falls right off the niple. if i put the cap on and close the bolt i can point the gun straight up and then put it leve and open the bolt and the cap is just laying in the bottom of the bolt. anybody else have this problem? gonna call traditions tomorrow. that is a poor make of a nipple.

But like said above- switch to a musket nipple if you can.

Post by: kirkl on September 22, 2011, 08:17:18 PM: They told me to squeeze it when its on the nipple which doesnt work and also try a #10 cap which im gonna try tomorrow. it is still unacceptable for the #11 to fall off that easy. Bi mart said theyve quit a few complaints about traditions doing this. my cousins break open also does it.
