I am all but positive that the Pedersoli Hawken is 1/4 inch by 28 pitch. (I believe that the Traditions are metric.)

On my Pedersoli Kodiak, the thread size is 1/4-28. The nipple stem is longer than on std TC nipples though.

What they said. I have the 54 Pedersoli and it's 1/4-28. I have two other Pedersoli's and same.

Folks wondering what thread size their nipple has should take the nipple to a local hardware store or auto supply.

Most of them will be able to measure it and tell you what you have.

I have a Pedersoli Blue Ridge flintlock and all the threads are metric.

If you bought a 1/4-28 nipple and it would not start, the thread may be 6 mm (.236 dia.). There are two likely thread options, M6x.75 and M6x1.0.

Metric threads add a special challange.
