Newby Nipple Question

[WolfyW]

Installing a new nipple on a caplock rifle : do you put anything on the threads before installing a new nipple ?

 

[NorthCoastBigBore]

I never have, without issue. Only my experience.

 

[Easyrider]

If you use some teflon tape on the threads, it won't seize in there.

 

[petew]

I coat them with never seize.

CVA Slick breech plug/nipple grease.

 

[tiriaq]

I just apply a dab of grease.

...or oil, they're in and out often enough not to be a concern. Its a storage thing really.

 

[Musketfire]

I just apply a dab of grease.

x2, I use high pressure grease, its cheap and really useful.

 

[thing]

I use antisieze.

I used to use Teflon Tape but now I just use Ballistol Oil.
