I've just got a Uberti 1858 Remington revolver. I've had one chance to shoot it and loved it. I need some advice on type or brand for a couple of accessories. First off, can someone recommend a good nipple wrench? I need one with some back bone. The 'ears' on the Traditions t-handle wrench that I had bought sheared off when I tried to unscrew some of the nipples. (This is a brand new gun, so I don't suspect rust, or poor cleaning gumming it up).
Secondly, what kind of capper will work for putting caps on the nipples? The inline one I bought can't get into the recess around the nipple to place a cap on it.
Incidentally I've found #11 CCI caps to work best. I tried #10 and had numerous misfires, although the Uberti website recommended #10. Another justification why real men shouldn't read directions.
After I do some research on how to do it, I'll be posting a pic of my revolver in the 1858 club thread.
