Parts for Pierson Ruschetta (PF) 1851 Navy

[jefftbolt]

I have a 40+ year old PF 36 caliber 1851 Navy, still in very good condition but I’d like new nipples and a source for other parts when/if needed (I’ve repaired the hand already). Uberti nipples have the right thread but they’re too long - could file them down but then cap may not fit.
Any suggestions?

Check around with different muzzle loader suppliers , Track Of The Wolf sells some with different lengths of same thread size

File the nipples down.

Then reduce the diameter of the nipples.
