CVA Northwest Conversion #11 Nipple

[CareyJAF50]

Can anyone on here either confirm or deny whether the current versions of the CVA inlines (Wolf/Optima/Acura eta) in either the factory Northwest configuration or sporting the Northwest conversion kit has replaceable nipples? I see they come standard with Musket cap nipples, but I'm hoping to convert to a #11 nipple if possible. Im seeing conflicting information on the veryyyyyy little data I can find on here and every other forum. Thank you!!

I ordered a NW accura (but changed to a blackhorn breech plug) but damned if I can find that original plug at the moment to verify. Folks online do say it is threaded, I expect those that say its not might not realize its threaded?

You could likely reach out to CVA (BPI) to ask for sure.

It is threaded on my wolf. The #11 and musket will both work with the kit.

Buy a few nipples and make sure you anti seize/tape/grease them and remove it every time you clean.....and you'll have no problems.

It's threaded but they epoxy the nipple in. May have to heat it up to loosen that up.
