I just picked up used 1860 .44 ater some clean up time dont look to bad If I like it enough after shooting I want to get some spare nipples and other small parts such as springs and so on. Just looking at TOW and they have 6-.75 threaded nipple suppose to be for replica rev anyone know if that would be the correct size for the Uberti ? alos is there any where that shows a good take down drawing of the 1860 ?

I think the Uberti's take a smaller thread size. Check the Thunder Ridge sight, they have a table that show what size each revolver takes. Check here.[url]

Dixie Gunworks catalog says the Uberti 1860 uses a 5.5mm x .9 nipple.
Hope that helps you.

My Pietta 1860 Army takes M6x0.75x0.540 No. 11 nipples, which is really of no use to you in determining what your Uberti takes. Your best bet is to measure the thread size. Take the nipple to your local hardware store and ask them to measure it for you. It could be either SAE or metric. The choices are probably 12x28, 1/4x28, M6x0.75 or M6x1.
BTW, a M5.5x9 thread is almost exactly equal to an SAE 12x28 thread, to within a couple thousandths of an inch.

Thanks guy for all the replies I'll see what I can turn up . I did fire it up yesterday just to see if and somewhat how it shot,the CCI #11 and the ancient cva 11's fit real sloppy, It wouldnt let me bust a cap on one no matter what. I ended up putting the cylnder in my vise wrapped in leather and pulled it. Seems that its a bit short possibly may try some 10's if I can find some local. I could hit a soda cup at 15' every shot with 30 gr pwdr and a .454 ball
The next time you want to hold the cylinder in a vise, try this:
Cut (2) pieces about 2 1/2 inches long off of a 3/8 in wooden dowel. Place the dowels in two of the cylinders chambers with about 1 inch protruding from the chamber face. Clamp the two exposed dowels in the vise. This will hold the cylinder for nipple removal without the danger of collapsing the thin cylinder walls.

PS: If you don't have a wooden dowel, two moderate diameter drill bits or pieces of scrap that fits the chambers will work just as well.
