Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The Nipple size is metric because the firearm was made in Italy, 6mm X .75mm, per the seller of the 1851 kit I just bought for my son and I to do some bonding with in building the pistol. Not sure we would ever fire it, but I might as well make sure that I have these on them as all I have ever seen by you all in the know is that Treso nipples are the best. So i am wondering where I can get them at the least expensive price. The kit with shipping is already costing me $179 and I am not sure of the quality of the kit itself, but again if it isn't the best for shooting, we won't. Thanks in advance. Nimble Fingers Merry Christmas and the happiest of the other holidays! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Dude, SASS # 51223 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 If this 51 is to be a casual shooter I would not install the Treso cones in the piece. They are approx. $6.00 each shipped. Try the Cone's that come with the piece first. Just my opinion, you understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Mushman Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 +1 Lefty Dude's conmment. However, if you want to compete in Frontiersman the Treso nipples are greater insurance for reliable firing without cap jams. Jedediah Starr is the cheapest I've found at $4.69 per nipple. Look here" http://www.jedediah-starr.com/thumbnail.asp?cid=76&offset=0 The ones you want are labled for Pistols with #11 caps and the old italian metiric thread (scroll menu). However, most say use Remington #10s for best results (and my liimited experieince with them vs stock, too). Enjoy your dark side revolvers!
