Hi to everybody. Since I've picked up a number of tips here, I thought I'd share this one.)
I have a 1860 Colt Army made in 1862. The nipples were FROZEN, REALLY FROZEN.
I had tried soaking in WD40, Marvel's Mystery Oil, you name it.
Got some PB Blaster, soaked the cylinder for a week. Damn if those nipples didn't come out just like I'd put them in yesterday. (They have been in for 149 years!)
This PB Blaster stuff REALLY WORKS!
Best Regards,
Andy

So does Kroil , they call it the oil that creeps , it will supposedly infiltrate a millionth of an inch when something wants to be stubborn it's what I use PB is probably just as good though .
