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 press
stubborn nipples didnt stand a chance
i ground a 3/16 socket to make a wrench, put it in a cheapie vice (pad the cylinder with leather) clamp it down, use the vice grips to turn the socket... i had my doubts as it all looked a little shaky, but it worked!
Can Anybody recommend replacements/better nipples?
Thanks THR, i learn so much on here, always read something that makes me think.
