I picked up an old (1963) Replica Arms 1849 pocket last week that came with a missing nipple and a broken wrench. I have looked around the internet and all of the sources I found say it should be a 5.5mm x.9 thread but when I checked and measured one of the others I come up with 12 - 24 thread. A screw of that size fits perfectly also. My problem is I cannot find that size and a couple of emails to parts houses have gone unanswered. I do not plan to shoot it but it is in pretty decent shape otherwise and is part of a cased set so I would like for it to be complete. Anybody have any suggestions?
