Nipple wrench

[TheRodDoc]

Does anyone know where to buy a good nipple wrench for a 1862 pocket police colt uberti replica?

Pretty small outer dia.. The Dixie gun works has one listed but it seems at least two customers had them break right away. Said they are to brittle.

I had one when I bought the gun but can't find it after all these years gone by.

I have never taken the nipples out of it but I want to try and make the flash holes smaller. I will tig weld them shut and re drill them.

Make one out of a 3/16ths socket. Just file or mill a slot to accept the shoulder. Even the el-cheapo chinese sockets are pretty good steel and will get out the nastiest stuck nipple.

Good idea. Thanks.
