Smith Carbine percussion nipple dimensions

[Mknight702]

Hi,

Does anyone know the nipple thread size for the original Smith Carbine. I want to buy a new nipple but I don't know the dimensions. I do see some on the US websites but none of them want to ship to the UK for some reason.

Thanks,

Matthew

I don’t know if Track of the Wolf have what you need, but they certainly ship to the UK if they do

S&S firearms have Smith nipples and I believe they ship to the UK

Unfortunately not.

Unfortunately not.

Peter Dyson’s may be able to make one

Quite possibly, however, knowing the dimensions will make life much easier, hence the question. Plus I am not sure I want to pay the premium for hewn from solid billet unobtanium with unicorn horn tools from Dyson's.

Is there something preventing you from measuring the nipple yourself?

A set of digital calipers and a thread pitch gage and you'll have all the dimensions you need.

The rifle hasn't been delivered yet. I am just trying to get ahead of the game.

Unfortunately not.

I’m trying to persuade them otherwise. If not, I may be able to get them to ship to a friend and from them to me

The people at Lodgewood Manufacturing speak Smith Carbine fluently and are the go-to people on those carbines and parts.
Your firearms laws scare most suppliers from shipping anything gun-related there. Not worth the risk and hassle.
The UK is a really tough place to be a shooter in.

Hey y'all this maybe of the topic but, I recently found a nice original Smith carbine but the hammer is loose, wiggles side to side a little. Is normal?

It is illegal for anyone in the US to ship gun parts outside the country.
