any Black Diamond shooters...need help.
If anyone still shoots a Black Diamond here is the issue. I've had this for 12 years and I just took it out of the box. I started reading and it seems to be very dirty with the Flamethrower system. Some go to a single port #11 cap and has half the blow back and stays much cleaner.
What I can't find is what size nipple do I need? I found one but its a lot shorter than the Flamethrower. Not sure if that will cause harm. I just need something to go on because I'm totally green to the muzzle loader world.

IIRC both the regular nipple, Hot Shot nipple and Flame Thrower nipple are 1/4x28 threads.
The only real difference is the hot shot is longer and it has 3 "flash holes" The regular nipples have one.
Here is a list of several nipples and a replacement plug.

My old ThunderHawk used the same FlameThrower or regular nipple. The plug was non removable.
Both nipples interchanged just fine but the FlameThrower was a dirty beast.
I would get the musket cap and the #11 nipples just so you have all the bases covered.
