I've got a Pietta Remington 1958 New Army on order that should be coming in end of this month. I've read the nipples that come with the revolver do quite well with Remington #10 nipples, but the LGS only had two boxes of the Remington #11 nipples.

I'm thinking it would be a good idea to have an extra set of nipples for the #11 caps, but am unsure of what and where to buy. I know I'd like smaller passageways and a that it's smarter to buy once, cry once on such things.

Can anyone link me to a reasonably priced set of nipples that perform well, fit the Pietta pistol described and are a good fit with the Remington #11 percussion caps?

Thank you,

Dave

Track of the Wolf sells them and from the new guns I've seen, their flash holes are no bigger than Treso's or Track's.

When you can, buy in bulk and save money and aggravation.

The correct term is percussion caps and they are fitted over the cones.
