Where to find 1/4-28 musket nipples in bulk?

[brownac1983]

Good morning all. Another thread has got me thinking that I have several rifles, Mostly TC, that I haven't converted over to musket nipples yet because they've been sitting in the safe since I bought them. Trouble is I'm all out of nipples. I'd also like to pick up some spares for the future. Everywhere I look sells them individually, and most of them only show a few in stock at a time. Is there anywhere to buy these things in bulk, say by the dozen or 20?

Thanks.

Goodness you must do a lot of shooting! Some of the nipples in my guns have been in use for 30 years. As I sit and think about it I don’t think I’ve ever shot out a nipple. I’ve had a few that got flattened over the years but I’ve just filed them back into action.

It's not that I wear them out, it's that most have #11 nipples in them when I buy them and I prefer to swap them over to musket nipples for shooting and hunting. I bought a full case of musket nipples a while back so I'm set for years on those, I want all my rifles to be able to use them.

Have you tried TOW, LCS, and DGW?

They all list them individually, none of them offer nipples in quantity. I'll probably buy them from Log Cabin if I end up buying them by the piece, but figured I'd ask around before I drop a hundred bucks on nipples.

Wouldn’t hurt to call each location and talk to someone, they might cut you a discount on a dozen.

@brownac1983, try Treso LLC. Since they are the manufacturer, they might have bulk ordering possible. It seems so from the catalog listing.

Thanks, I'll give them a try. Their catalog is from 2016, hopefully they're still in the business.

Most companies will sell you as many nipples as you want. Never seen any offers for bulk discount.
