Who's got great prices for black powder consumables? I have a Uberti Walker Colt that needs new nipples. I used to could get them from my local Sportsman's Warehouse, but they have recently closed shop in my local town. So, I guess I'll have to buy online. Who's got the best pricing?

Yep, The Possible Shop will have the nipples you need. http://www.possibleshop.com/s-s-nipples-cb.html

Should be number 11-50-136 for your Uberti Walker.

Edit: Is it just me, or has the price on these TRESO nipples gone up drastically in the last couple of months? $32 for the set of 6 nipples? I also see that the nipples for Piettas are on manufacturer backorder.

I thank ya'll also for suggesting the Possible Shop. I went to it and found some real interesting Primitive Fire Methods on there....

Thanks guys. I appreciate the info and link! I also happen to be on the Cabela's website and saw these (http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0012637216438a&type=product&cmCat=SEARCH_all&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&Ntt=nipples&Ntk=Products&sort=all&_D%3AhasJS=+&N=0&_D%3Asort=+&Nty=1&hasJS=true&_DARGS=%2Fcabelas%2Fen%2Fcommon%2Fsearch%2Fsearch-box.jsp.form1&_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1) for $15.99 for a 6-pack. So, is there a difference or are the Cabela's nipples just fine. Heck for half the price, I'll go with Cabela's unless there's a good reason not to.

Hello, checked the link and honestly do not beleive that these nipples at Cabaleas are Ampco Treso nipples.............. possible shop is still your best bet ;)

The linked nipples at Cabela's are steel. They will work but have two significant disadvantages from the Treso nipples:

1) They have a larger flash channel that will produce a less concentrated gas jet

2) The material will erode much, much faster than the Ampco bronze in the Treso nipples; the Tresos will last much longer.

Track of the Wolf sells them under their part number RST-WA for $5.95 EACH.
