NIPPLE PROTECTION............

[DuncaninFrance]

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!

Say...that is a pretty interesting invention. I'd have never thought of it.

I would have just not dry fired it.............

I don't dry fire it either but the last dummy who owned it obviously did - the pillock

Not really new, been around for a few years



Note the little chain so that it doesn't get lost.
They were on Sniders as well, but then they were to stop an accidental blow to the firing pin.
