my uberti '60 had two factory nipples that wouldnt budge for nothing, chewed up a nipple wrench so i quit messing with it last fall, too much other stuff going on. read on THR about using a drill press (dont turn it on!) to work loose a stubborn nipple, got me thinking... so this is my drill...

I dont get much opportunity to see let alone handle many BP guns in my local shops but yesterday i got to handle a .36 cal Uberti (1861? navy i think), beautiful revolver but the grip was a little small (got big hands). So my 1st question: the difference between the grip and over all size...

Seeking some advice. My father has an Old iver johnson Target sealed 8 .22 revolver that was my grandads, the barrel can be unscrewed, is there a way to easily fix this as the rest of the gun is really in pretty nice shape, used but not intentionally abused. I realize they arent worth anything...
