Yeah it's a gunsmithing question. Oh, and please do add nipple jokes if you like.
Years ago I bought a slightly used Navy Arms .36 caliber 1858 Rem. clone, revolver in real nice shape for $40 bucks. Probably it's made by Umberti as the quality is excellent, fit & finish superb.
Whoever shot it never removed the nipples & probably didn't know to lube the threads either.
I've tried many time to get the nipples out & don't want to damage the revolver so no dremels or hammers used.
I've tried heating, freezing, and really cranking on a nipple wrench to no avail
I was wondering if putting the cylinder in my TUMBLER would help loosen the nipples????
Would putting the cylinder in my ULTRASONIC CLEANER help loosen the
things?
I got stuck nipples out of s.s. 1858 no name made in Italy revolver that seemed hopeless by repeated heating & freezing but it was s.s. and this Navy is nicely blued, afraid I might damage the bluing.
Thoughts?
