The soft original Uberti cones were replaced with TOW hard but too short to make ignition cones.
Everything went into the "don't work" pile and a brand new set of Slixshot nipples are here and ready to be installed.
Right now i am up to my ears on an unmentionable project but I will get around to in in the next week or so,

You'll love the Slix Shot nipples, Bunk. I installed them on my Ruger NMA a few years ago and they turned it into a 100% reliable shooter with #11 caps. Neither the original nor Uncle Mike's replacement nipples shot worth a tinker's dam in that pistol, but the Slix Shots are perfection itself.

Admittedly I have an embarrassingly large number of C&B revolvers. With the exception of two all are fitted with Slixshot nipples. One is an ancient 1851 Navy that datees back tothe days corrosive caps. The other is a Uberti 1862 Police I just seldom shoot.
Slixshot are the only way to go for reliability.
Have fun

Bunk you should never be embarrassed about the number of guns(especially c&b) you own, be justifiably proud. I'm limited in NYS because they have to be on my pistol permit.

Ya gotta love them

Fortunately my Grandfather had the good sense to move from White Plains NY to Texas

Slixshots installed with a dab of never size compound on the threads.
Now as soon as the "low pressure steam" as Mark Novak calls the outside air we have here in central Texas the smoke will commence.
Right now the sauna conditions limit activity only in the shop with /c
Planning to make smoke

I stole that one from Mark, too. I'm a little south of you in the green cedar hell of the Hill Country, we're finally out of the drought period and back to rain and real hot summers.
