Why This Pietta Wrench + Nipple Set Belongs in Your Range Bag
Made for Pietta Revolvers: Designed to fit all Pietta percussion models (e.g., 1851/1860/1861 Colt-pattern, 1858 Remington-pattern, and similar) for confident service on the bench or at the range.
Six Fresh #10 Nipples: Replace peened, pitted, or enlarged cones to restore reliable cap seating and ignition consistency.
Proper Tool, Less Damage: The dedicated nipple wrench grips flats cleanly to prevent rounding or cracking—far safer than using pliers.
Ignition Reliability Upgrade: Correct cone geometry and flash-channel dimensions help reduce misfires, cap walk-off, and blowback fragments.
One Purchase, Two Solutions: Install new nipples now and keep the wrench in your kit for routine checks and field fixes.
Ideal Use Cases
Routine Maintenance: Swap tired nipples and re-torque after cleaning to maintain top performance.
Range & Competition: Bring spares and the wrench to address fouling-related hiccups in minutes.
Reenactment & Living History: Keep percussion sidearms reliable all day with ready-to-go replacements.
Restoration & Tuning: Pair with fresh caps and consistent loads for tight groups and smoother cycling.
Installation & Fit Notes
Compatibility: Fits all Pietta black powder revolvers using #10-size percussion caps (verify your specific model and cap preference).
Threading: Pietta has used different nipple thread specs across models/years. These replacements are sized for Pietta factory cylinders—confirm fit before installation on non-Pietta guns.
Use the Right Tool: Seat the wrench fully on the nipple flats before turning; avoid angle pressure that can crack cones.
Torque & Anti-Seize: Apply a tiny dab of anti-seize or high-temp grease to threads; snug firmly—do not over-tighten.
Pro Tip: If caps are too loose/tight after installation, try a different brand/size (#10 vs. #11) recommended for your specific revolver. A snug cap reduces misfires and cap fragments in the action.
Black Powder Care Essentials
Clean Same Day: Black powder/substitute residue is corrosive—remove nipples, flush with warm, soapy water or a BP solvent, dry thoroughly, and oil lightly.
Inspect Often: Replace nipples showing peening, mushrooming, or enlarged flash holes—these cause erratic ignition and extra blowback.
Cap Selection: Use snug, quality caps; lightly pinch only if your manual suggests it for your model.
Safety & Compliance
Always Unload: Verify the revolver is uncapped and unloaded before wrench work. Wear eye protection during capping/decapping and live fire.
Local Laws: Check local/state/federal rules for black powder arms, components, and transport.
Function Check: After replacement, dry-fire on spent caps (or follow manual guidance) to confirm proper strike and reliable cap retention.
