I have read about people using the dollar store ring caps as substitute for caps. So I tried them. I tried 6 to clear the nipples. OK, no problems. Then I tried them with cylinders loaded with Pyrodex P. Absolutely nothing. I remove the plastic, fitted #10 caps and everything worked fine.

I agree and have been looking for a flintlock rifle and pistol, expensive to say the least. Any advice for getting into flint without breaking the bank? I'm not interested in kit guns, and even the used ones I see for sale are not cheap by any means. I'm a function over form type of guy, looks do not put meat on the table, reliable guns do. I guess from my searches that flintlocks are a small niche, and the price is what it is.
