This is the cylinder of my new Pietta 1851 Navy. Why are the two nipples top and bottom have larger holes compared to the others?
Thanks

Pick door #1, #2, #3, or #4:
* If the installer was picking nipples from a bin full, the wrong nipples were mixed in & accidently installed in those 2 chambers. (I seriously doubt an assembly line installer is checking orifice sizes)
or
* same situation as above, but the other 4 nipples are the oddballs.
or
* the four nipples with the smaller orifices have built up fouling inside
or
* some dweeb cleaned the two larger nipples with a power drill & a too-large drillbit.
[EDIT: it looks like door #3's the winner ! ]

Now I lay me down to sleep
A gun beside me is what I keep
If I awake, and you're inside
The coroner's van is your next ride
