I'm needing to replace the Nipple on a Marlin MLS-50. I read that any standard 1/4x28 nipple should fit.
Ok so I went to a gun shop that I've dealt with several times in the past to see what they had. They had one Thompson Center Standard #11 nipple that was 1/4x28 for the thread. It fit great and looked very similar to the one it had in there. One thing I did notice though is the hole that goes through it is a lot smaller on the thompson center one than the one I had. Will this matter? I mean the diameter of the hole going through the nipple was smaller. The rest looked similar and it threaded in perfectly.
I was going to get two but they only had one so I got another one which was a Hot Shot nipple instead of the standard. Out of these two which should I use? The hot shot one threads in fine but the part of the nipple you put the cap on is clearly longer. Will this matter? Or is it fine?
Is the diameter of the hole being smaller a concern or is it a non concern and these will work fine?
Should I use the hot shot one or the standard one?
Also changing the nipples won't change the POI of the shots will it? I have this thing sighted in so I can shoot the bulls eye out of the target at 100 yards. I really don't have time to re sight it in nor do I really want to waste money on the ammo for it unless I really have to.
