Different size nipples on one gun?

[Marplot]

I have a 1810+ Belgian double barrel shotgun. One of the nipples is badly damaged. I acquired a nipple wrench (Amazon) and removed both nipples. The damaged one thread measures .260 the undamaged one thread measures .239 I guess this is 1/4-28.

I guess one side has been retapped and larger. Are there larger size nipples? Both are fine thread. Trying to find my thread gauge, but they look the same pitch.

what do i need to do?

Yes track of the wolf has .250, .255, .260, ..265 I believe. I have an old belgian and needed replacement nipples. I am only up to .255 so far. Very common. My belgian is about the same age.

Track of the wolf part numbers---

.260 - ROS-10-S

.250 - RST-S

Be sure of your thread pitch before ordering.

Once you get them, they should screw in without much, if any, help from the wrench. Don't run them all the way down if you are really having to crank on them.

Do a future owner a favor- attach a tag explaining the difference in nipple threading when you decide to sell it or don’t shoot it anymore.
