Anyone else seen a nipple blown out when the gun was fired?(side-lock).
Was hunting with my cousin years ago and he was hunting with a side lock got a shot at a 4 pointer,he killed the deer but when he went to reload the gun the nipple was missing.
My brother was shooting one to check his load before going hunting and his pick-up with a camper cover was sitting about 20 ft behind him,when he fired the nipple blowed out and broke his rear window in the camper cover.
I figure that at one time or another they had strpped the threads some when cleaning???
I used to shoot one a lot but never had the nipple to blow out.I think they were very lucky that one or both didn' t get hurt.
Just happened to think of this while reading another post on nipples and thought I would ask.
