Need help to name a part.

I have a Traditions Springfield Hawken rifle .50 caliber. I need to know what the name is for the screw that goes right by the nipple. I am in need of a new one. Thank you.

I believe you are referring to the cleanout screw.

Thank you so very much! Does anybody know where I can get one?

I don't know the thread size or length of that screw, but if you can determine those numbers (perhaps the local hardware can help), Brownell's (http://www.brownells.com/)is one good source of gun screws. Or give Traditions customer service a call (860-388-4656).

 

[fordlover35]

I will do that. Thank you so very much for your help.

THE Ultimate Cleanout Screw for CVA & Traditions guns.
These were $2 each plus shipping from Deer Creek Products, tel: 765-525-6181.
They're stainless steel and require a nipple wrench, but these really are the easiest to turn since you can get a better grip with a nipple wrench as opposed to a screwdriver or an allen wrench. And a nipple wrench is usually more handy when shooting or in the field too.
Aren't they just plain beautiful?

 

[fordlover35]

OH RIGHT ON!!! Thank you for this. These are the ones I am going to get. They are beautiful.

Just try to describe them well to the nice lady on the phone and order several because there's a minimum shipping charge.
These are discontinued CVA cleanout screws.

 

[fordlover35]

Trust me I will. Again thank you so very much.

My Traditions Frontier uses a 5x0.8. My original is in the bottom of my septic tank. I got one from our local hardware store. It's a fairly common size. Those shown the previous pics are neat, and being able to use a nipple wrench is a plus. I had to settle for a Phillips head, but it got me shooting again, until I can get a better replacement.
