Hello,
New member here. I snagged a Berardelli Mississippi rifle (with the W on the bolster so no exploding) pretty cheap on gun broker. My plan was to eventually get a new whitacre barrel, then send it to lodgewood for defarbing / changing to the colt refurbished rifle pattern. I tend to ask alot of questions before shelling out a lot to start the process. Lodgewood expressed concerns that bernadelli's weren't approved because the stock is too short. I could have sworn I saw they were on the approved list but google searches aren't being my friend right now. Also even if they are stock I understand having any work done means it would need SAC approval after the work. Would this rifle pass if it had work done or would I need to get a longer stock for it on top of everything else. If so I might either get another rifle or just leave this one stock.
Second question which replacement nipples fit these? The stock one it came with seems too small the schutzen musket caps make the nipple hotdog down a hallway loose and only stay put via gravity as there is absolutely no friction between the inner diameter of the cap and the outer diameter of the nipple.
Thanks for helping a newb.
Respectfully,
Corey Simmons
