Pedersoli Enfield nipple threads

[Youngblood]

I cant seem to get a handle on the Pedersoli Enfield nipple threads.
Ive heard here 5/16 x 20
Dixiegunworks says 8 x 1.25

Im trying to buy a couple Ampco nipples but i need to know which one.

Anyone know?

I would settle for a link to Ampco nipples that are known to fit too.

Thank

I would suggest Lodgewood Mfg. : www.lodgewood.com
I have an old Euroarms Enfield from back in the early nineties. It has the same threads as an original Enfield, and Lodgewood fixed me up.

The original p53s were 5/16 x 18, which is the English size. I can tell you the cone threads for the Pedersoli Enfields are 5/16 x 20, and they are not anything metric. I was just shooting my Pedersoli at the historic weapons demos out at STRI battlefield park earlier today. I took the cone out of the bolster to clean it after the programs ended. It is still 5/16 x 20, same as last time.

Thanks.
So then the problem seems to be i cant find an Ampco nipple listed as being that size.

8mm is .315 inches, 5/16 is .312 inches --- 20 threads to the inch is a pitch of .050 inches, 1.25mm is a pitch of .049 inches
in other words they would be real close to the same thing. 5/16 -20 isn't a normal thread size, but there might be such a thing anyway. 5/16 - 24 is the normal fine thread. I have seen 5/16 - 32.

Just curious, why does it have to be an Ampco replacement cone? I'd go with the stainless steel cone from Regqtm. You don't change out them that often. It's worth the difference in cost.

Just wanted to try one. Ive heard good things.
Stainless are good too.
Either way i go, i just prefer to get the correct size.

Easy to remember, it is the same size as the old Euroarms barrel. Pedersoli bought the Euroarms tooling.

I own a Pedersoli Enfield musketoon the thread is 8mm X 1.25mm bought my spare nipple from TOTW.
If you try to force a nipple with the wrong thread you're just asking for trouble down the road.
