Correct nipple size?, Pietta .44 cal, BP, 1858 New Army. Bought it from cabellas. I recently ordered a replacement batch from Thunder ridge. As soon as I opened the package it was obvious they too big. The invoice indicates they are 6 X .75, however, my tap and dye says they're 5/16 X 24. Tried calling them keep getting answering service. Any help would be appreciated.

All of my information says a 6 X .75 would be correct for your Pietta.
That would make them .2362 in diameter and the threads are close to being 34 threads per inch.
Call them and suggest they reached into the wrong bin when they filled your order.

Zonie, I got through to them, sure enough they were mislabled. The correct size is 6 X .75mm for my Pietta, I'm sure this get resolved quick enough. I can't really go shootin' right now, kinda cold here in Missouri......Thanks for your response......
I just got an order from Thunder Ridge: I ordered two sets of Treso nipples for my Pietta 1858, and only one was shipped. I called, and the second set is on the way. I think I know whose Christmas party I want to be invited to next year!! :rotf:
