For the past month I have recommended the TRESO nipple in a #11 configuration...
Recently I found a source for the TRESO AMPCO nipple - this is a get nipple EXCEPT for one thing. The 'flash hole' is drilled to .028/29 which is great for the ignition of real BP or the Pyros - but I use T7 which takes more heat to ignite in really cold weather. To cure this problem I order these nipples from Buffalo Arms in Ponderay, ID. When I get the nipples I then drill the flash hole out to .031 - That works perfect even sub-zero weather. Here is a link

The nipple in the center is the 1/4x28 Nipple
This is proving to be incorrect. I just recieved 3 new ones and tried them for fit. The nipple stack is to small to get a seal with a #11 cap.
So this point I am back to the RST-S - stainless steel! Probably another reason Track of the Wolf stopped carrying them.
The nipple works well for ignition - but not seal....
