As a nipple protector, I have used a spent .22 short cartridge. I use them most when I have a load in the gun at the end of a hunting day. It reminds me that the gun is loaded, and helps to keep moisture out of the nipple.

a very nice post. never thought of that.

Unless, of course, it's actually a "whatchamacallit" or a "thingamajig"...

You can also look at the rubber washers for faucet repairs and find one that fits. I had one on an Enfield for dry firing.

Yes of course. But they do refer to a different part of a rifle.

Do you know what its called when you throw someone out of a window?

Its called "Defenestrate". And I have no idea why I know what that means. Weirdo I guess.

Isn't a nipple called the flaming gozinta?

 

[Brokenbear]

Ok now back on track here gentlemen
…I did find a shop who listed them as “CW Enfield Nipple Protector”
(S&S Firearms of NY)

The seller felt it should fit any thing with a musket cap nipple

Seller did not think it should be placed on a nipple with a cap in place (never the plan on my part but pretty sure it would not fit anyway
