    Stuck Nipple

    Kroil hasn’t worked for me on one of my revolver nipples, and it has been soaking for days! I haven’t tried heating the nipple because the nipple is an inside radius and its expansion would only seat it harder (and I’m not inclined to heat the entire cylinder).

    Colt revolver ident.

    Red, I suspect that grandpa bought the gun himself but he died in 1957 so he’s not here to ask. He was born in 1880 in Oil City, PA the son of a CW and SpanAm war vet (my gr. Grandpa Jesse).

    SOLD Pietta 1858 .44 cylinder w/ new nipples - $60 shipped

    Major, I’m interested but am not a machinist so I would want time to check the fit to my new Pietta (expected later this week). Are you prepared to sell it to me and then return it for a refund if it can’t fit beyond my simple tweaking ability? Tom
