Where can I buy Nipples?

[coldsolderjoint 84]

I think I need a new nipple for my Muzzle loader. I believe its a 6mmx1 Thread for a #11 cap.

 

I know I can order them online, but would like to see if I can buy one before Sunday. Stopped by Effingers today and they only had T/C 1/4-28 nipples.

Thanks! It's not a big deal, my new Cabela's Sporterized Hawken Rifle doesn't like to fire until the cap is hit twice. I found a few posts here and there on the internet with a lot of people having the same problem. Some people said once they changed the nipple, it worked fine, and other people said they tried Remington caps instead of CCI.

 

I was trying CCI #11M Magnum because that's what the guy at Cabelas said to use. I got some regular #11 Remington Caps today at lunch time, I'll try firing off a few caps when I get home to see if it makes any difference.

 

A guy at work says he uses the hammer to gently push the cap on the nipple to make sure it seats correctly. I will try that as well.

I do that too, Cold. Don't know if that would make a difference though, unless you had a weak hammer spring.

[coldsolderjoint 84]

It's a brand new rifle, so anything is possible. I would think something would be binding rather than weak, but I'm going to try the Pushing the Cap on with the hammer and using the different caps tonight.

 

I only have a boy scout merit badge from about 12 years ago with regard to my muzzle loading training.. lol.. I don't remember having to push it on.. but maybe we did.

Good NEWS!!!!

 

The remington cap's work like a charm!

 

Although the dog didn't like them

Just bringing this thread back to the top so I can keep laughing at the title.

[oldslabsides 2]

Did someone say "Nipples" ? Count me in !

[Greydaddy 2]

Sheeesh!

[coldsolderjoint 84]

Well, I cleaned off my nipple, and put a new cap on it, and it seems to work properly now.. Nothing worse than a dirty nipple

[NJChiroDoc 0]

But at happy hour slippery nipples are good!!!

they were out of stock.. lol.. i ended up ordering some from Cabela's.. but I also got some extras from deer creek, and I finally went to "the holy grail" of muzzleloading.. dixon's in Krumsville, PA..

 

Lol..

 

I swear these cheap muzzleloaders eat up all your cash in accessories faster than real guns.

Just when you though the nipple thread ran out of ice, it pops up again.

Who can resist nipples. It's genetic, we can't help it.
