Blomquist Nipple Availability?

[Buzzard II]

Hi!
Does anyone know if Ron Blomquist is still in business making nipples? I need sets for a few revolvers. Contact info? Thanks!
Bob

YES! See post # 10 for current contact info. Bob

I attempted to find him, locate him, about 18 months ago. All contact information was no longer valid.

Hope this helps.

I talked to him last August ('12).

This was the email address I had then:

Ronald Blomquist <rblomquist@indy.rr.com>;

Since there has been a problem can you let me know if it's still valid or not?

Last number I had was 1-800-337-1243.

He made good stuff. Hope he is still at it.

I sent an e-mail to the address rodwha supplied, we'll see what happens. I also had sent out a letter with a stamped self addressed envelope over a week ago and nothing yet. I'm hoping for the best! I have 5 revolvers I would like to install his nipples on. Thanks to all who responded! I appreciate it! Bob

If you dial that number, you'll get either a busy signal or a Spanish language supplier of a "Brazil butler" (sic) or something that sounds like that.

Hey guys, I have not received a response to my letter and 2 e-mails as yet from Blomquist. If I do, I'll post it. For the time being, I think I'll contact the House of Muskets for availability of Treso Ampco nipples IF they take RWS 1075 caps. We'll see! Bob


Found another number for Ron Blomquist 317-695-1118, called and got a recording "Ron, leave a message and I'll get back to you". Left a message 18:30 hours, 12 December 2013. Waiting for a response. Bob

I spoke to Ron Blomquist today 13 January 2014, and he will be back in production in the spring of 2014. He had a kidney replacement, then got an infection, so he was not doing anything for awhile and almost retired. I'm sending him samples of what I need. His nipples are made to hold the RWS 1075 cap, before and after it's fired. They are also 6 sided, so you can use a 3/16 socket on them, like they did in the old days, not the 2 sided nipples we have come to hate. Current contact info is:
Ron Blomquist
2025 East 110th St.

He may be hard to contact, but keep trying! Real friendly and knowledgeable!
