This Musket Nipple Protector and brass tear drop style chain is a nicely detailed replica of the original. The Nipple Protector, also called a Snapcap, is used to protect the musket nipple and hammer from damage during an accidental dry-fire. The square socket fits over the square lug military nipple. The 8 inch brass chain has a brass split ring to secure it to the rifle. This nipple protector fits all the most common musket nipples.
