Would love to have the capper, but I'm too far away.
I like that model.
Don't ever get up North anymore.

LOL... I have almost all of that in my possibles bag... and I always wonder why the heck still I keep it around. Especially the ball puller jag... rofl. I tried to use that once, it was a pita. Found it alot faster to just remove the nipple, pour a couple grains of powder down the flame channel, replace nipple and fire the ball out. Only takes a few grains to get it to clear the barrel.

Way easier to do it your way.
You got it…….I'll take it.
I did it one time many years ago when I first started muzzle loader hunting. I then bought a Thompson Center ball dis-charger that uses a CO2 cartridge. You just push it down onto the nipple and the ball will shoot out, I used it once on a very rainy hunt to blow a maxi-ball out of my 54 caliber.LOL...

I think those old screw ball extractors are meant to be used with smoothbore muskets and soft lead balls. I suspect most of that stuff pictured is all foreign to anyone using a modern inline muzzy.
