I didn't see Fingers' "multi" tool nipple wrench, but I'd have tried that had I seen one for sale.
The modified 1/4" drive socket was looking good.....right up to the point when it snapped off one side of the socket.
I did see Doc's set up in another post (yes, I did some searching
), but that was a bit complicated for this country boy....
As an update, I bored out the nipple recesses (remember, 1858) as per some instructions I got from Noz some time ago in order to accommodate a capper, then replaced the nipples with AMPCO/Treso nipples yesterday. Yes, I used anti-seize.
Then, I went out to my little target range and let a few cylinders loose....while wearing my new leather!
My "new" lesson is that I need better lubrication on the cylinder pins. After only two cylinders each, they were starting to bind. Caps fell off ok....only one fell in the palm of my gun hand
and I've got the burn scar to prove it.
.....and I wanted to switch from smokeless because??????
