Nipples for Percussion Guns


    Track's nipples - for the traditional purist hardened and tempered carbon steel, or 416 stainless steel:

Discard the factory made blued steel nipples supplied on imported replica guns,
    especially
    revolvers. They often have too much taper to secure the caps and prevent cap fragments from falling into the hammer
    notch, jamming your revolver. Our nipples fit CCI & RWS No. 11 standard caps correctly.

The values shown for the overall length, thread journal length, and diameter of the
    base
    are ideal values and may vary slightly due to machining tolerances. We have noted a wide variety of nipple threads
    and lengths used on imported rifles and percussion revolvers, especially on the early imports from the 1960's and
    1970', even on the same model from the same maker. We recommend confirming the thread, overall length, thread
    journal length, base diameter, and comparing the cone length. Cone length = overall length minus thread journal
        length. The cone length must be similar in length to the original nipple to assure good function especially
    in percussion revolvers. * Variations exist on many early imported revolvers. Many pre-1980 revolvers will have
    relatively short 6-.75mm threaded nipples.
