Blown nipple.

[andy52]

STOP! Break down and have a gunsmith look at it. IF the threads are still good, fine, have him install the CORRECT nipple. If the threads are no longer any good, there are OVERSIZE threaded nipples that can be installed. If that is not possible, DO NOT use a threaded insert as it will wind up in your face! At that point get a new breach plug and nipple installed, and don't try to do it yourself, or get another barrel.

Well "Big Bob" you should probably read all the posts in a thread before making a comment like this.

andy52,
So what EXACTLY do you disagree with? Somethings may have already been written but that does not mean they are correct or exude confidence.

Ok, I haven't said this on the forum to this date but I am a certified gunsmith and I did face the breech with a mill. I went to gunsmithing school after I was discharged from the US navy in 1974 on the GI bill. I no longer do this work for profit just as a hobby, this is a buddies gun that I agreed to try and fix for him and I pretty sure I have. I'll let you know when I test it on Saturday.

Mr Bob, The gun has been fixed several posts back! Your telling him to take a gun that has fixed and go get it fixed!

Try to keep up! Don't get mad.....it's all good!

Hey, it's not fixed until we all say it's fixed!

I had the same problem. I used taps and oversized nipple purchased at track of the wolf. Solved the problem.

I truly hope it has been repaired. I hope it was done correctly. Until I can be sure I would not stand next to the shooter when this firearm was fired. Some of the comments do not exude confidence. Sorry if I have offended anyone, but it's the way I feel!

I bought the 7x1mm nipples from TOW, the only disadvantage is that size isn't commonly available so I got some extras for my buddy.

Well, the gun has been fired at least 50 times from the completion.
The nipple is still in place and shows no signs of coming out.

andy52, great job BTW. I have a thought why you were getting posts about take it to a gunsmith etc. after it is fixed and tested. If someone replies to a post on page 2 (and he hasn't read the whole thread) it ends up as the last post. Long after the issue is solved. Just a thought.

I read the whole post and it did not inspire confidence! "I think I fixed it" DUH! A poor workman usually blames his tools-Cheap China tap. Get over it already!

Well Mr. Bob I don't generally involve myself with trolls but I will this time.
There is no way to know if a job on a firearm is complete until it's fired thus the" I think it's fixed" comment was made in my shop prior to test firing.
My friend wanted me to fix the nipple problem and at that time I didn't have a 7x1mm tap so went out and found the first one I could and indeed it was a Chinese-made item and it failed but without I'll effect due to me knowing how to use the freeze technique....Would you have known how to do that? Unlikely I would say!
Now you can continue to run your mouth but I'll not see any more of your comments due to a wonderful feature this forum has.

As sometimes happens when they are proven wrong some people continue to lash out, and now back to our regular scheduled programming...

Good job Andy!

 

[Big Bob]

GIVE IT UP ALREADY! You 2 sound like legends in your own mind.

I'm just here for the last word… word.

 

[andy52]

Well gents it will be the last word of his I'll see....

Thank you, sir and I hope to see you next April at the fort.

I’ve never put anyone on ignore… figuring it’s good, and sometimes funny, to see how the other half gets along..

Insulting people, name calling, and talking down to people. And others on this site agree with you? GREAT!
