    LeMat nipples

    Can someone please tell me the correct size nipple that the reproduction LeMat revolver takes? And where I might buy some?
    Thank you for your time.

    LeMat

    Stuffy,
    When you get the nipples you seek (do not read anything else into that), make sure the caps fit very tightly and snug. I witnessed a horrible chain fire three years ago at a range (not an N-SSA shoot) where ALL the cylinders went off at once. Destroyed the weapon, no person was hurt, but it did get everyones attention. The feeling was that the caps were too loose and a chain fire resulted at the rear of the cylinder. The shooter is an eye doctor who has now sworn off ALL repro weapons, only shoots originals.
    Be safe.

    They state that the nipples are for #11, but I always use #10 on my revolvers. Thanks for the heads-up thou.

    It is unfortunate that the dear Dr. has blamed the reproduction for, what is once again, human error.
