Don't say nobody. I have been preaching about the musket cap ignition on the MK-85 for a long time. I put the musket cap hammer(and nipple) on my MK-85 many years ago(probably over 15 years ago). Best move I ever made on MZ's. The musket cap is probably the best ignition system there is for an MZ. More than hot enough for 100% reliable powder ignition, but not too powerful to partially blow the load before powder ignition. Tom.
