1861 new Navy .36 nipples

Will 12X28 nipples fit my 1861 ARMY SAN MARCO cylinder?

Most likely not. Don't you have the old ones to check the size and thread or have some one help you? I believe that 6x.75 mm. was common, if you go to your "help full hardware man" they will have 6x1 mm screws but .75 is a gun thread.
I had trouble finding nipples for a Euro Arms '60, they are a little shorter than most.

Thank you 44Dave, I have tried 6X.75 but they are too big, the old nipples measure 5.5mm,Idon't know the thread pitch . I will put the cylinder and a wrench in my pocket when I go to the next gun-show.The original nipples are so bad, up to .008 difference in length, that there is one the hammer will not hit.Replacement is imperative.
