Title: P. Bondini nipple thread?
Post by: rdstrain49 on January 16, 2017, 11:31:13 PM

I would like to get a few spares and replace the nipple on my P. Bondini, LePage pistol. Anyone know for certain what thread the nipple is. 6x.75 & 12x28 are close, the 12x28 will even thread in, but neither feels right.

I would call Track of the Wolf and ask them. It seems that most references to the LePage pistol call for 6X75 nipples.

I don't think it's 6x.75. A 12x28 will thread in but feels ever so slightly loose and the 6x.75 won't start, close but won't go. I know that in the day, P. Bondini was among the best of the best, but I can find no information whatsoever.
