Shooting original revolvers

[dek]

Does anyone shoot their original Remington Army revolvers? The one I have is in very good shape and very tight. However, I cannot get the nipples out. I've soaked the cylinder in kroil and I don't want to destroy them by applying undue pressure and "buggering" them. I'd like to know the thread size for the nipples and whether replacements are available. Thanks, Dennis

We don't recommend shooting the gun and if you do it is at your own risk. You can obtain new nipples frob DIXIE GUN WORKS. I heat the nipple with a tourch and back them out. This will destroy any finish left, however it destroys any finish left. Jay Huber RSA
