NIPPLE PROTECTION............
Posted: Sat Mar 16, 2013 5:28 pm
When I recently took delivery of my Hawken rifle I noticed that the nipple was "'Burred over" from being "Dry Fired"
I thought there would probably be an accessory to place over the nipple to stop this but after various searches on Google I could not find anything in France to fit the bill.................SO..........................as always, I decided to make my own.
1. Take some small wall plugs.
2. Drill them out to fit (just) over the nipple and cut them off just a little longer than the actual nipple chimney.
3. Place one over the nipple on the rifle.
4. Allow the hammer to rest on the protector.......................
Simples!
