Chuck H, if he is going to continue shooting this muzzleloader he will in short order need additional nipples. They are consumables which need periodic replacement. If you want to keep the original nipple to satisfy a collector's mindset he needs to find a way to obtain a small supply of new ones and put the current one in storage. Tinkering around relining the current one is just silly to my thinking if he plans on shooting the gun.
