Oversize nipple hole...
« on: February 10, 2009, 12:55:13 AM »
 I have a gun with a 1/4-28 nipple hole in need of repair.

 I see that Track of the Wolf has various oversize 1/4-28 nipples, but no taps for them. No luck at Brownell's either.

 Does anyone supply oversize #11 1/4-28 nipples and the tap to repair the hole to fit them?

You might try Dixie Gunworks. They have a website.

 Well dang.... I searched their taps before and only found standard ones.

 Thanks necchi, that's just what I need.  ;D

necchi,
 Why avoid T/C for a fix on this.

sorry, maybe my post was mis-read. I mean if your going to fix your own T/C. Don't do it. Send it to them for repair.
If you look back a few posts you'll see one I made titled T/C warrenty update.  :) ;)
