Hex nipple size ruger Old Army?

[tom deinek]

Used pistol didn't come with nipple wrench. Buddy says 6 point x 1/4" drive socket worked better than mfgr wrench. My Craftsman set of little, wee-bitty, tiny, hard to hold sockets doesn't seem to have one that will work.

Midway part 82251 is only $3.98 but s & h is $29.18.

Advice?

Call Ruger...they may send you a wrench for free. If not, you can buy one from them or Brownell's.

Brownell's light weight shipping is $4.75

BTW hex size is 3/16.
