traditions pistols

[backwoodsman1]

I have two traditions pistols, .50 caliber, one is a trapper Kit I bought and build, the other is a traditions pistol, but I don't know which it is. Can someone tell me what nipples they use, I'd like to have spares on hand as I've been told that these need replacing about once a year and I want to be prepared.?

           Thank you

the trapper should use the 6-1mm. If the other is a revolver it will be the italian metric thread. My nipples last for years but if you dry fire, they can go flat but put them in a drill chuck and use a file to clean them up.

Both are single shot .50 caliber percussion pistols, and thank you sir, sure appreciate the help

I'm glad to hear that the nipples will last for years, that's not at all what I read somewhere, and again, I sure appreciate the help.
