HELP! What nipples fit a Belgian centennial centaur?

You can always shorten them! Track of the Wolf has a large selection of nipples, measure the length and see what they have.

That is a gorgeous revolver!

View attachment 1200759View attachment 1200760this is a extremely early model . Fitting and function is excellent. Ordered a set of Pietta and uberti nipples. The Pietta wouldn't fit, the Ubertis were able to screw down but we're to long View attachment 1200761

She's a beauty for sure.
@Jackrabbit1957 I thought about shortening the slix shot but I'll probably just throw them on another gun that could use them.
These nipples are unfired so I'll give this stock set a roll

@Jackrabbit1957 do you have any pocket model arbors in your parts bin at the moment?

I got a revolver id been looking for a while. A ASM baby dragon with a 5" barrel with loading lever.
Unfortunately during initial break down and clean of the gun , after a attempt to hit the wedge with my plastic mallet the arbor bent. I went to bend it back and it was nearly as easy to bend as a fork.
I was never able to get it straight enough to work and ended up becoming unusable.
Id often heard stories about ASM soft parts but this was a first for me

And I believe track, and others supply two lengths of uberti cones…

Unfortunately no, I don't have any arbors laying around. Did you look at VTI? They have some ASM parts. I would also look at EBay.

I have two Centaure's, a 4xxx and a 9xxx. As I recall the nipples marked "fits original Colt's" from Track of The Wolf had the correct threads but the cone length was not necessarily ideal.

Original Colts even had 2 different length cones, according to my1970s Dixie Gun Works catalog.

I thought about trying some original colt nipples.
Smallest caps I have are the tiny cci 10's

Do you know if the color case is real bone & charcoal or chemical?
