I recently bought an 1863 Remington Contract "Zouave" rifle (mfg. by Ranson, in Italy), and am buying some accessories for it - but have been unable to find exactly what size nipples it uses so I may buy a spare, and a wrench.
I bought one nipple wrench, but it's the wrong size - too small - and I'm now learning that nipples come in different sizes and threads.
Also, I went to the range with #11 caps, but they are too small to fit on this nipple. Are 'musket caps' larger?
Can someone point me in the right direction for a wrench and for the right kind of caps? Thanks.
