Anybody know much about the flash hole size of typical original revolver nipples? I order a set from S&S for a Whitney Navy, as the flash hole on my originals looked worn out compared to modern Uberti colt nipples. However, the new nipples have a massive flash hole, 42% larger than the originals.
Measurements:
Modern Uberti (Almost all colts and remingtons): .033"
Worn looking Whitney Nipples: .043"
New Whitney Nipples from S&S: .074"
Never seen a nipple with such a large hole as the ones from S&S. Think I wasted my money there.
