Try calling them between 10 and 2 their time (Tennessee)
A Red Plastic Jacket is a device or carrier to insert a shot gun 209 primer into. Then that is placed on a post on the breech plug. The hammer is relaesed and hits the primer causing the gun to ignite. Not legal in Washington...
Can this Wolverine use musket caps?
It can... I would suggest you order it that way - but I would go with #11 caps they are more reliable and can be near water proof with the correct nipple.
Would it need a new breech plug/nipple?
yes
Would this be considered "exposed" for legal use in Washington?
it is an exposed cap system
A couple of weeks ago I shot an older Wolverine using musket caps and I really liked it, but I am not sure what might have changed with the newer Wolverines.
A Wolverine can be a Washington legal ML, but when you order it order it with cap igniton....
I would suggest a Knight DISC Extreme with a Western Kit installed - it is a much more versitile gun and meets all the Pacific Northwest rules...
Knight DISC Extreme

Open exposed breech - the cap is visable
