After several attempts, I'm having trouble finding a suitable replacement nipple/cone for an original P53 Enfield. It seems that the threaded portion is too long and the cone base will not tighten down flush with the bolster face. If I were to dremmel off the lower 1/8" or so of cone threads, it would allow the cone to sit flush but that would then bring up a second concern. The threads on all of my replacements stop short of the cone base by 1/8" or so. I would then be concerned about not having enough threads to safely hold the cone in place during firing.
Can someone recommend a replacement nipple/cone or suitable modification?
Thanks in advance,
