Crockett nipple wrench

[DylanAdkins1996]

Hi everyone I just recently purchased a traditions crockett rifle and I noticed the area between the nipple and the space arou.d it is very thin. And my regular nipple wrench won't go on my nipple cause the side wall is too thick. Does anyone know if I have to have a certain wrench to fit the crockett or another way of getting to it easily?

I had a friend with a metal lathe make one for me. I know exactly what you are talking about. There isn’t much room there.

@ETipp is the CROCKETT SQUIRREL RIFLE MASTER. He should be able to help you.

take the hammer off to give you room, small cresent wrench on end to get on nipple. might need some kroil penatrate to soak for a while, little heat will let it lossen.clean threads with small wire brush or old tooth brush also clean bolster threads. use some felpro c5a antiseise before installing. good luck.

Take a look at the nipple wrenches Track of the Wolf has. You can probably find one that works.

This small ignition wrench works very well when used in conjunction with Track Of The Wolf nipples. Use the 13/64 open end.
TOTW nipples only cost about $6.00 so if you order from them, it would behoove you to order 2 or 3.

The factory nipple is tapered and too small for number 11 percussion caps and needs to be replaced anyway. Caps fall off way too easy.

The 13/64 open end wrench did not work with the factory nipple but works very well with replacement nipples.

I could not find a specific listing for a nipple wrench for the Crockett rifle on TOTW website so I took a chance and ordered one that I thought would work. It didn’t do so and I’m happy with the ignition wrench. I carry two of those small wrenches with me. Even a cheap one will work fine.

I got a long #10 pistol wrench, and hand ground it to fit.
