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.

and i was hoping this was a xxxxx thread :x

.... i'm immature, I know. had to do a double take on the title.....

I have nipple about 5mm 20 thread. Too small. right?

i have one - pm or email me -

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.

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

have you tried the infant isle in any food store?

Good job keeping it clean guys, I know it was hard.

Hard nipples???

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

Did someone say "Nipples" ? Count me in !

Sheeesh!

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

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.

Bet they made fun of you in gym class... :ugeek:

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