Musket nipples...HELP!

[Magnus Pym]

Looking for replacement nipples for my Armisport Sharps, .54 cal., paper cartridge rifle:
8mm, length: 7.34mm, true width: 2.36mm. Thinking extinct! Thank you.

Try TOW for your nipples. If they don't have them, they do have drills & taps so you can convert your rifle to use more common size nipples.

Only one I saw listed for an 1842 armi at TOW is MM-I or MM-S
Cone .475
Thread .275
Overall .750
Base .370

You can also try Buffalo Arms. Those boys know Sharps, and they carry a variety of nipples.

You probably need the Musket nipple shown on page 1 in this link to the Track of the Wolf site.

Look for the nipple number MMI-I. It's the 14th nipple down from the top and lists the Armisport Sharps as one of the guns it fits.

“Thank You” to all who took the time to respond! Go go. Lots of leads upon which to follow up.
