Lyman GPR nipple needed. Where do I find it?
« on: October 28, 2004, 07:39:38 AM »
Fellas, I need a nipple for a Lyman Great Palins Rifle to convert from #11 to musket caps.  I seem to be having a bit of a time finding one.  Might anyone here know where I can start?

Thanks in advance!

Jason, I'd suggest you read the FAQ Section of the Lyman site as they don not recommend going to a muskat nipple.

savageT........Have you hugged a '99 lately?

Of all the things I've lost in my life, I miss my mind the most.

Why on earth would you want to change it from #11 caps?
Do it outdoors!!
