Help!! Need part for Traditions Muzzleloader!

[Froggy4371]

I am in a real pinch. I was out shooting yesterday and broke the nipple retention spring on my Traditions 209 Tracker in-line muzzleloader. This is the spring that holds the 209 primer in place. I guess this is common but has never happened to me before. I contacted Traditions and they said that they sell them in packs of 5 for like four bucks but they are back ordered for 2-3 weeks and muzzle loading opens a week from saturday! Anyone have any ideas? or A spare to lend out till mine come in!

I believe I may have a spare in my stuff but I won't be able to check until early next week. But definitely look for some closer options. The first year I hunted mine was bad right from the factory. To get by until the replacement parts came I used a piece of electrical tape on the side of the primer to hold it in place. That made the primer big enough to stay in the nipple. Gun still went bang when I pulled the trigger.
