Nipples

[Jaaska]

Anybody know where i can get a nipple for a Snider rifle ? The rifle is in really good condition but somewhere along the line it looks like someone dry fired it so many times the nipple is crushed and mushroomed . Thanks guy .

I think the first issue is are you referring to a Snider Enfield rifle which is a centerfire rifle or a percussion Enfield rifle which came in several models but probably all use the same nipple

Parker hale 1853 enfield nipple fits an 1839 enfield, fitting a Snyder is probably not a stretch. Brit military don`t change something that works generally.

Many years ago, I converted an Enfield replacement nipple into a Snider firing pin retainer. Straightforward job.
