[Ronin001]

Which fill nipple cover is preferred to protect your equipment. There seems to be three (3) type 1 magnetic, 2 ballbearing, and plastic covers

Here are 4 types I have found on amazon for reference for any individual that don't know or don't have:

Will that cover the common nipple on most scuba tanks.

I have a ball bearing cap on my Falcon pistol, very secure. I have been looking to find several others and I think this will work great.
Tried to give you another accuracy + but asked for me to spread it around. I hope someone else will give you the point for this post!
Thanks,
Doc

I'm currently using a plastic tire valve cap. Probably the cheapest of any but it works.

Thanks man, I went to Ebay an ordered a 5 pak of the rubber, a ball bearing , and a magnetic ;-)
You can never have enough of these things ;-)

 

[NMshooter]

Just ordered 2 ball bearings and pack of the rubber,
Thanks

AOA supplies really nice magnetic cover for Forster male connectors on some FX models. Not sure if they sell these, but worth asking.

The Ninja is the same as the AoA style. 
Another, super cheap, option is to go to the hardware store and find a rubber screw thread protector. Here's a link of something like what I'm talking about (But, I'm not sure on what size you'd need). 
I have the AoA (Ninja) style and a rubber cap and I still use both.

Tom, I'm so glad you posted this. I used that plastic screw protector you just mentioned and I have one of the rubber nipple covers crammed down inside it. Worked perfect on my Disco after I put the TKO on the end of the barrel and the regular fill cover would no longer fit due to close tolerences.
The plastic nipple holds the inner rubber nipple tight enough to remove and replace for very fill with no problems so far. But I still want to check out the magnetic and ball bearing fill covers just for $hits and giggles ;-)

I use the Ninja magnetic or the plastic thread protectors.
When shooting off the beck rest I keep the probenecid in the gun and cover the exposed part with a Ninja nipple cover.
For long term storage of the fill probes I use the plastic thread protectors to cover both ends.

Campfussell - I had to resort to something when I added the Atlas rail to my Verminator. The threaded inserts protruded too far into the stock and my OEM cover wouldn't fit anymore. Kind of like you and your Disco. Those make a good cheap fix that you don't get too upset over if you misplace. I have recently fixed the insert and my OEM cover fits again.
These are called plastic but, the ones I'm using are not a hard plastic. They're more like a soft rubber material. They're used a lot where screws protrude and could end up cutting someone. Like underneath a picnic table. all they do is cover the threads so, people don't get sliced if they bump into them on accident.

Just got my Ball Bearing nipple covers and they are going to work out great for my Falcon pistol and carbine. Thanks again Ronin
