For those of you that have been searching high and low for a Paterson loading tool/Nipple wrench, Taylor's has a limited supply for $53 & some change delivered. I ordered one last week & got it today. Thought I'd post a few comparison photos of the new Uberti tool and a tool that came with my Navy Arms/Pietta Paterson from 1983.
First photo showing the two side by side. Uberti on the left. The Uberti is slightly larger and heavier than the Navy Arms one.
Anothe picture of them side by side. Uberti on the bottom:
Here is a picture of them with the cap off. You can see that the Uberti on the left is beefier than the Navy Arms tool on the right.
Here's the money shot. Again, Uberti on the left. The cap threads were smooth and even on the Uberti tool. The Navy Arms was a chore to unscrew because of very rough cut threads. - Oh yeah, the new tool fits the the four pointed Uberti Paterson nipples perfectly.
Taylors still had a few of these on hand when I ordered mine last week. When they're gone, they're gone & according to Uberti - there won't be any more.
