Unfired ROA, should I change nipples now?

[Onty]

I have unfired ROA. Are original nipples OK for a long use? Would be wise to change them to aftermarket ones? From what I could see, many are using TRESCO nipples.

Also, when installing nipples, should I use any kind of anti-seize paste?

Thanks

Yes to the anti-seize, no to the nipples, until you try them out. Still using the factory nipples on my ROA.

My ROA was used when I got it, and I've had it quite awhile, and it still has the original nipples, which are fine. In fact, I use ROA nipples in my Savage and North .36.

The OEM ones work fine. And with the hex cut into them they're easier to deal with since you can use a nut driver on them.
