The New Englander has a problem in the ignition. Nothing serious. Just you put the cap on, the first strike sets the cap and the second fires it. All I need to do it go to a bigger cap then the 1075 RWS like the CCI Magnums or reduce the nipple diameter just a little. When it gets dirty, it acts up. Also that trigger is a little stiff. Nothing I can not handle, but I might send that in to T/C and let them fix it.

I did shoot one maxiball out of the New Englander. I aimed dead center on the big bull and was surprised it hit that low. Although the rifle was fouled bad so that might have had something to do with it.

Over all it was good to get out and shoot. Bad weather is headed my way again they claim.
Dave, I had a problem when using pyrodex when I had the New England. I installed a musket from TC that curedthat problem. The New England was a .54 and very accurate with the maxi.
