I have a 1851 Navy revolver that I got and have been working on to get in working order. I posted a couple other threads asking advice. I got everything working, but when i tried to put caps on the nipples, I found that they have been mushroomed and can't get the caps on. I have ordered all new nipples. BUT when I've tried to remove the old nipples, one is really messed up. The squared off part of the nipple has been rounded off and my nipple wrench can't get enough purchase to turn the nipple. I've tried all the tips i can find on the past threads I can find on this site. Nothing works because the old nipple is so messed up. I'm thinking of drilling it out and using an extraction bit to try to get it out. Help! any other ideas? Like I've said, I've tried everything that I've found on this site but nothing has worked.
