My question is if a rifle, hammer type, was fitted with an inline type nipple for small pistol primers, would that have necessitated drilling out and re tapping the hole, thus making it difficult if not impractical to go back to a std nipple?

Rifle with nipple changed to small pistol primer, inline type?

Do you mean a mag-spark nipple? They should not require retapping the drum as they are made as a direct replacement for CVA or TC or common threads.
Could be, I dont know, have never seen anything on a hammer rifle but std or musket nipples. I will look that up. Thanks.
I looked that up and yes I believe thats what it is. They use shotgun primers I guess and advise against using pistol primers.
Never heard of it. Thanks!!

As long as the previous owner just swapped the regular nipple for the mag-spark, should be straightforward to change it back -although if it's been in there a long time might need a little soak in penetrating oil to free it.

The nipple replacement that used a small pistol primer has been made for a ling time now. I see some mention of them going back to 2004. Seems to be called Accra Shot. Everybody who used them soon quit using them.Very difficult to keep working it seems. It seems to be nearly a dead end.
Sacrilegious!
I'm seeing more and more of these little inroads chipping away at this "traditional muzzleloader forum" and I sure don't like it!!!

Most of the time, the use of the small pistol or for that matter, the 209 primers, this is a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
Sir this is the percussion side of the Traditional Forum. Rock sparkers the other side of Forum. Get you a rock sparker & lets go Traditional !
Percussion is fine. I have several.
It is the mere mention of an inline type of nipple and small pistol primers that gets my ire up. Nothing "traditional' about that. Might as well be cussing out the Pope as far as I'm concerned. There are other forums for discussing such things.

Well as far as i am concerned that's what the Pope& all of the Bishops need! You may get angry & mad but i don't think the newer member knows how it offends some members here if you have to blow your nose !
