Well the replacment came today for the traditions I bought last week. This time I checked over the threads for the nipple REALLY well. Cleaned it all up and I'm ready for the range tomorrow. I think I will fire it from the lead sled 5 times before I nose up to it this time though.

This gun came with a stainless steel nipple with a little different profile to i than the last gun, the last one had a steel one in it.

SURE hope it shoots as good as the original one did, I'll be real disapointed if it doesn't.

Hopefully tomorrow night I can post some pics of good groups and a intacted gun!!!!

Which rifle do you have ?

Good luck. I will be watching for your report.

It is a traditions hawken. I didn't make it to the range today like planned. hopefully tomorrow I will.
