RemingtonMagnum,
You "do not" need to remove the barrel on a T/C Scout to see if you can look through the nipple and see daylight.
All you need to do is cock the hammer back and look through your nipple hole. You will need to point the barrel into the light.
Do not be alarmed if you still can not see daylight. Your nipple could be dirty.Clean out the nipple hole and try again.
I cut my ramrod down in length, so when the cleaning jag is attached it is flush with the muzzle. When it's bottomed out in the barrel it's less than 3/8" above the muzzle.
Hope this helps you out.
