Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver - nipples needed

[A34]

Where can I get a set of nipples that will fit an original Colt Model 1860 Army Revolver?

Thanks!

You might try Dixie Gun Works or Track of the Wolf. also try the Gunworks in Springfield, Or.

Slixshot nipples from Slixsprings. I have installed them on most of my cap 'n ball revolvers of various makes and calibers:

Expensive and worth every penny to avoid those nuisance cap jams.

Also buy their nipple wrench when ordering because it's superior to anything else out there.

Are the repro threads the same as originals?

I was always under the impression that the repros used metric threads? Might want to shoot slixsprings a email, they offer a few different ones.

Please refer to the link provided. Slixsprings is very clear about which nipples fit which pistols.

I am picky about tools and feel and that is spot on, it looks awkward but its perfect the way its setup.

Mixed feelings on their Nipples being superior but if I had worn nipples they would be a top choice, making sure on the threads.

Check with Track of the Wolf, they list a lot of nipples. The originals are not metric threads. Are you able to remove the nipples from the original cylinder?
