Hi I received a muzzle loader barrel , that has stipped nipple threads ...short of changing the breech plug ... would it be safe to install a threaded insert , to get back the original 1/4 x 28 threads ..? Thanks , Bob DRSS Chapuis 9.3 x 74 R RSM. 416 Rigby RSM 375 H&H | ||

If there’s enough room a properly fit thread insert would work fine. John Farner If you haven't, please join the NRA! | |||

Or retap it to 5/16ths; that is a standard nipple size. Or convert it to flintlock; they are more reliable when you run out of caps. | |||
