Back to the Pietta 1860...

Replaced nipples with Treso bronze....every cylinder fires now, but the TC capper is having a hard time getting caps on the new nipples. Anybody else run into this problem?

Took down the hammer nose to lower POI....still have a smidge more to go since it's still about four inches high...no biggie there.

Another thing I'm working on is moving the POI about four inches to the right. So that means carefully filing the right side of the rear 'V' notch, right? I'm thinking that filing the left side of the 'V' would move it further to the left, which I don't want.

Here's a pic showing POA and subsequent POI (all shots are from 45 feet)
