Nipple Thread Size

[LILSHARPS]

Hello,

Can anybody tell me the nipple thread size for a Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken, there is no specs in the book that came with it. Thank You.

http://www.flintlocksetc.com/ I'm sure Richard Beauchamp could tell you and probably has them available.

8-1.25mm is probably correct. TOTW has those.

Take your nipple to Lowe's home supply or a place like it. Chances are they have a screw plate in the hardware section with metric and SAE threads you can check the thread diameter and pitch with . Then just order the nipple by screw and cap size.

Get beryillium or ampco bronze as it will outlast common italian or even stainless nipples. Know your group size and when it opens up, check the nipple for burnout. If you are a serious shooter buy nipples by the dozen from a vendor where you can pick out the ones with the smallest flashholes and make a wire or pin gage to check hole size for go and discard.

Try a standard grease jerk, 1/4 X 28. If that does not fit it is likely the standard metric size. 6X something. Order the standard metric size or see if they have them at a good sporting goods store.
