Track of the Wolf=Invalueable custom parts service

[Brutus]

Recently my mix master gun project came to a screeching halt due to mismatched parts that appear the same but were decades apart in manufacturing dates.
My one and only recourse that I happily discovered just today is that TOW does not just catalogue 65 varying nipples/cones. They will also custom CNC for your discontinued cone needs.
Of course this must include a minimum order of 100 pieces.

But there you have it fellow BP enthusiasts........

So what's a hundred antique nipples going to run a guy you think? Depending on what I would have to shell out , just might be interested.

 

[Brutus]

They tell me it's the listed price with the minimum of 100 items.

 

[outlan22]

So roughly 5-7 bucks per unit then, going by what prices they have listed. I did find a place in the UK that will do custom nipples with out a minium order. Will have to see if I can find that address again.
Found it.

Much thanks outlan22.

Duly noted.

Good to know Brutus - I had no idea. I buy lots from TOTW (they've got thousands from me) and I like their service.

Ain't that interesting - how hard is it to get that stuff out of the UK? I know they have some good brass suppliers in the UK but getting it out can be tricky (read expen$ive).

Yes sir. Recent enquiries has me a bit worried regarding the bureaucracy of moving gun parts out of the UK. Vendor first off has to be licensed for international sales.
The Excited States views BP firearms/BP parts in a less troublesome light versus modern arms and they tend to cross thier international boundaries more swiftly. I'm not sure if the UK has a similar policy.

Hidden costs such as this has me considering the devil that I know, versus the devil that I don't know.

Cheers!

Love TOTW. When the main spring in my Pedersolli Brown Bess broke last year I bought a new one from track.

Great price, great customer service and easy over the boarder shopping. Quick too.

TOTW seems like a good bunch, but they recently ceased exporting barrel liners to us due to bureacratic wrangling.

Yes and they have one of the better and easily accessible selections in one place.

However, that restriction on exporting barrel liners seems to be across the board so I can't fault TOTW.

Tracks catalogue is a good source for parts as all items are pictured at full size.

Cold comfort if you needed an inexpensive barrel liner from the Excited States. .
