T/c black diamond question

[Steelheader323]

Long story short I have 2 of them they have been with me fir a very long time.. and I have been in the game for a very long time but I can’t recall if all I need to convert them from musket cal ignition to #11 caps is the nipple? Reason I ask is I would like to convert them
Both. I shoot both rifles often just like the rest of my collection but I’m starting to run low on musket caps, however I still have over 5k # 11 caps..

So will a t/c #11 nipple be all I need? Thanks In advance

I would venture to guess that you just have to swap nipples.
I imagine the thread size is the same.

You just have to change nipples, at one time they came with all 3.

Thanks guys, I’ll give it a go with one of my t/c nipples from one of my sidelocks and try it

All you need is the musket nipple.

Years ago i tried musket caps with my Black Diamond rifle. The musket cap made for a much dirtier action and i went back to #11 caps.

That’s what I am looking for is a #11 cap nipple.

Any 1/4”-28 #11 nipple should work fine in it. Does in mine. I even used a magspark once. Just to see

So I swapped it with a spare #11 from my renegade, it is shorter in profile than the musket nipple and the musket cap nipple protruded inside the breech plug where the #11 nipple sits flush at the bottom of the powder column . but I did toss a cap on it and it went off..so I’d assume it will work Fine

If it doesn’t, I might still have the one that came with my Black Diamond when I bought it. I’m never going to use either the percussion or musket cap nipples.

Let me know on that..I have a new 209 adapter for the BD I’ll never use. I don’t have the correct striker plus on my other plunger style rifles when I converted them to 209 I ended up going back to #11 caps anways because the accuracy was better

Also…can anyone tell me if the black diamond parts are interchangeable with the woods rifle or the thunderhawk?

I’ll look when I get home tonight.

I guess all I needed to do was go to my local Shop and dig around…

Glad you found one. As others have said, you can use any 1/4" 28 #11 nipple. It doesn't have to be a T/C nipple. It also will not matter how long the primer side of the nipple is. I'm shooting a Thunderhawk and I shoot #11s with any brand of nipple I have.
