My brother finished a kit revolver, nominally a Remington 1858 clone made in the 70's. He spent a lot of time working on it and browning it back in the day.
We are both a great deal older now (It might be strange if he got younger while I got older I guess) and somewhere in the interim someone took the original nipples out, and yup, they got lost. He lost the wrench too but I can make him one of those.
He is thinking probably the last line of this;https://www.trackofthewolf.com/list/item.aspx/64/1
I told him it's a crap shoot as if the over all length is too short it won't fire. We can cast fixturing metal in one of the holes to check the pitch and diameter in a few days, but all this would be so much easier if someone of you all happened to have one of those kit guns from the 70's and could measure the nipples.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
