I think the T/C Nipples should fit it just perfectly, at least that is what I heard. But wait until PHATINJUN or one of the guys that shoot them weighs in to be sure.

TC or Traditions will work just fine. I think Gander carries both.Kurt

Aren't Traditions nipples metric threads? I know they might be close, but they won't be 1/4x28.

Busta I thought I just saw some at Gander that were 1/4-28 but I could be wrong they were not on the self by all the other Traditions stuff but maybe they were extra stock. Gander MNT is in a big mess right now as they are trying to figure out what they are gonna keep in the stores and what is gonna be mail order. The manager told me all the reloading stuff was now gonna be mail order so they have it all in one central location. K if you are unsure what the length is just make sure you get one to long as you can shorten it. Kurt

K,

Yeah, you want the longer nipples that look like this one.



The shorter ones for the sidelocks for comparison.




You might be able to get a 1/4x28 Knight or Uncle Mikes to work just as well if you can't find the longer T/C's, I didn't see them on the T/C website but that pic came from Midsouth.
