    Thank you so very much for your trouble but I am aware of the shop which is still very much in business. I have bought guns from there. Unfortunately they don't now do black powder or the caps. Thanks again.

    Have 4x100 tins of number 11, Ely and Remington.
    Inside diameter 4 mm.
    Measure your nipple diameter, these are for pistol but could fit some shotguns?

    Got new nipples now. The only ones which would fit the threads. and they take the Musket caps, the ones with little wings. They are big

    Musket caps with wings

    Shame your not nearer, I've got 5000 Parker hale ones, they were £50/1000 from an old fella at our club

    I think they're usually £75/1000

    Regards Steve

    Musket caps

    Hi,

    As far as I know, 4 wing musket caps are a standard size,

    According to Kranks website, rws 4 wing 1081 musket caps (200 pieces)

    Used for military type muskets and pistols including Enfields, volunteers, etc using nipples of approximately 5.7mm diameter

    Hope this info is of use,

    Regards Steve

    Nipples

    These are the nipples that Krank supplied for me along with a box of the winged nipples. Had a little shoot this morning and all was OK. I may be interested in some of yours.
