What accessories for a cap lock musket?

[Jenrick]

So I have a repro P53 2 band Enfield rifle mustket headed my way. I'm wondering what all I need to acquire for the appropriate care and feeding.A quick bit of background, I have shot BP before, but in a revolver. I know that there are certain issues one can run into with a long gun, that might not be an issue in a wheel gun (or vice a versa). What are some recommended accessories to make my life smoother?

Thanks!

I have some things in stock but not specifically for the Enfield
Also search the sutlers website like CC sutlery or FS sutlery or blockade runner.
Prices and shipping will vary

There's a specific nipple protector made for the Enfield. It's a little metal (lead?) cup on a chain, with a leather top for the hammer to rest on. The other end of the chain is attached to the lower sling swivel. There's also a specific Enfield combination tool (in privates' and sergeants' versions) being reproduced. These items are illustrated here: http://www.blockaderunner.com/Catalog/catpg6.htm

Then there are the usual generic implements that you would need, such as a nipple wrench, a nipple pick, a worm, and a ball puller. (The latter two go on the threaded end of the ramrod.) Some of these may be included as part of the specific Enfield combination tool.

If you are a reenactor, you would also need an authentic sling, a bayonet, a proper cartridge box, etc., etc. These items add up in a hurry.

You can also get items you need from S&S Firearms & northeasttradeco and for more suttlers go to the N-ssa web page,
basics you need are a good cleaning rod, proper jag, a 58 cal brush, worm & ball puller. & a good nipple wrench. Northeast sells really nice cleaning rods & jags
try to find a bruch that is not a pressed in type.they can pull off.
for shooting. minies need to be .002 under bore and made from soft lead.. Enfield i had liked 42 grn of 3fffg
and 48.
lube 50/50 beeswax and olive oil works for me.
