Wrong Nipple!

[Sir-diealot]

Hey guys I have a Navy Arms Mule Ear Side-Hammer 50 Cal. Rifle and have not been able to find anyplace that can tell me what the proper nipple for it is. Right now I have a musket nipple on it but it is to big and when you pull the trigger many times the gun will not go off. I need to know what thread count, size or whatever you call it nipple it takes (No place that does muzzle loaders around me anymore) Here is a link to one like it I will post pictures shortly. https://www.gunauction.com/buy/5424831

 Not a black powder shooter but google dixie gun works. It was a store in NW Tennessee that my buddies use to brag on.

I do have one of their very old catalogs, they had a wheel lock I wanted to build at one time. Thanks.

A Google search revealed that Navy Arms sold their business to VTI. Their email address was listed as mail@vtigunparts.com  Being a fellow muzzleloader, I wish you the best in finding an appropriate nipple.

Hahaha. Clicked on thinking something else other than muzzleloaders.

Clickbait...  The title of your thread is certainly one good way to get more exposure though.

Good luck in your nipple search....

LOL... All of life can be condensed into the company of good friends, laughter, and the search for nipples.

I would almost guarantee this store would have the nipple your wanting to play with ... she not but about 40 miles from my house ....

Thank you very much. Well let me ask you another question, I did not hunt for 17 years and my balls got oxidized, can they still be used or should I just get new ones? They look like they have snow on them. Thanks.

LOL.... Now the responses to that will be interesting. I can't stop laughing

The possibilities are endless.

 Turkey hunters always had more 'characters' in their number than other pursuits. Keeps life interesting.

I have heard not hunting for 17 years can cause that. Never took the chance and risked it myself. If you decide to replace them I would go at least 58 cal.

Not from me, I'm a good boy!

No click bait, the part really is called a nipple. I would hate to see how you would reply if I had asked where to buy a new nipple pick.
