Why Upgrade to Pietta Blued Steel Nipples
Factory Pietta Fit: OEM-style dimensions designed for Pietta percussion revolvers promote proper cap retention, consistent hammer fall, and dependable ignition.
Durable Blued Steel: Traditional blued finish resists corrosion with routine care and maintains an authentic period appearance.
Uniform Cone Geometry: Precise, repeatable cone and flash channel improve cap seating and flame travel, helping reduce misfires and cap walk-off.
Six in Every Pack: Service an entire cylinder and keep spares on hand for field fixes or multiple revolvers.
Value & Convenience: One affordable kit—no hunting down singles or mismatched aftermarket parts.
Ideal For
Routine Maintenance: Replace peened, mushroomed, or pitted nipples to keep timing crisp and ignition consistent.
Range & Competition: Carry spares to solve fouling-related issues in minutes and get back on the line.
Reenactment & Living History: Maintain dependable operation all day with ready-to-install OEM parts.
Restoration Projects: Return vintage-pattern revolvers to safe, reliable function with correct-spec components.
Installation & Fit Notes
Compatibility: For Pietta cap-and-ball revolvers (1851 Navy, 1860 Army, 1861 Navy, 1858 Remington-style, and similar Pietta patterns).
Threading: Pietta has used different nipple thread specs over various models/years; these are intended for Pietta factory cylinders. Confirm thread size before use on non-Pietta guns.
Tools: Use a proper nipple wrench to avoid rounding flats; never use pliers.
Torque & Anti-Seize: Apply a tiny dab of anti-seize or high-temp grease to threads; snug firmly without over-tightening.
Pro Tip: If caps are too loose or too tight after installation, test another brand/size (#10 vs. #11) recommended for your pistol. Correct cap fit dramatically improves reliability.
Black Powder Care Essentials
Clean the Same Day: Black-powder residue is corrosive—remove nipples, flush with warm, soapy water or black-powder solvent, dry thoroughly, and oil lightly.
Inspect Regularly: Replace nipples showing enlarged flash holes, heavy peening, or damaged threads.
Cap Selection: Use quality caps that seat fully and snugly; only pinch caps if your manual suggests it for your model.
Safety & Compliance
Always Unload: Ensure the revolver is uncapped and unloaded before servicing. Wear eye protection during capping/decapping and live fire.
Know the Law: Check local/state/federal rules regarding black-powder firearms and components.
Function Check: After replacement, dry-fire on spent caps (per manual guidance) and live-fire test with safe, published loads.
