Uberti nipples
I have an older Uberti 1860 that I picked up maybe 6 months ago. I've shot it once with the nipples it came with (the previous user may have changed the...I am not sure they are stock). Based on proof marks its a late 70s model.
Has Uberti kept the same thread dimensions for their nipples over the years? I have some slickshot stainless steel nipples that I bought a few years ago that do seem to fit (made for Uberti colts)...but the threads are drastically different than the ones that came with the gun. Obviously don't want a nipple flying back in my face... EDIT - It looks like pre 1980s ubertis would have used the same nipple as a pietta but a bit shallower? Can anyone confirm?

I see Uberti used 5.5mm x 9 and 6 x .75 mm time to dig out my thread gage and see if it has a metric side.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for checking in this forum for me (from my question over at Calguns). I actually asked the experts here yesterday and got the size I needed. All the best! |
