I'm polling my two favorite black powder sites to learn what I can about the stainless steel nipples that Butler Creek/ Uncle Mike's brand produced for percussion cap firearms.
I have found a supply of these nipples at reasonable pricing, and since I got a positive response from the supply house about the stock levels I'm interested in purchasing, I thought that maybe I ought to inquire among folk who might know more about these (no longer produced?) stainless steel replacement nipples.
I look to outfit a couple of ROAs & an ASM with the hex headed version, and if the supply will provide enough, a half dozen or so late model Pietta revolvers with them.
The description tells me that the nipples use #11 caps.
Can anybody tell of thier first hand experience with this brand of nipple?
