Nose cap. If you mean the trim piece at the end of stock towards the muzzle, then yes. Seems to be solid brass. The wedge escutcheons are brassish. Could be silverish too. I put one the buffing wheel. It actually shined somewhere between silver and brass. Took that to mean thin plating. The ends of the wedges are definitely silverish. Figured it was stamped steel. I will review your link with interest.
Nope.
See questions above.

Those Then Just statements can fill volumes.
Had a thought. Given our rifles are like brothers, do you recall the threads of the nipple. Mine was missing and best I could figure, it is M6-1, curious if the same. Though it fit and did snug tight, I just have that nagging feeling that I may be wrong. Paranoia can be a bummer sometimes.
Outstanding, thank you for confirming Grenadier1758
This is interesting. I thought I knew what the threads were on mine.
As the old saying goes, "It's never that easy." A 6mm-0.75mm is almost the same thread pitch as the 1/4-28 UNC. The 0.75 thread pitch is 29 threads per inch. It will start but not seat and will be loose in the threads. The 1.00mm thread pitch is 25 threads per inch. If one does seat a 6-0.75 in a 1/4-28, it will eventually get blown out. It's far better to verify than rely on my posting on the Forum.
