    Old Army new nipples for shotgun primers

    Has anyone seen these? Drop in replacement nipples for the Old Army allowing use of shotgun primers which sound great (though the line 'They do require a degree of experimentation to obtain the optimum performance.' Is a bit of a concern...)
    Anyone done this? 209 primers should give more consistent ignition and be a lot less fiddly which sounds like a step in the right direction.
    Had a search and I can't find mention unless it's around going the whole nitro conversion route.

    I have now joined that unfortunate club of having the base pin bend on my ROA.
    After straightening, it's working but to avoid damaging it further I looked for an alternative.
    As a replacement seems to be as likely as winning the lottery, I decided to get a press and a quick release pin.
    After a search for something a bit more substantial than the press Kranks have got, I've ordered one of these.

    The search for the pin proved to be a bit more of a challenge. I sent an e-mail to Belt Mountain who make them in the States but haven't received a reply so spent a couple of fruitless hours trawling the web to see if there was another supplier, but to no avail.

    After reading the post about A and A gunsmiths, I had a look and they stock them so thanks for the prompt.
    I'll give them a ring Monday.
