Howdy, picked up a nice older Richland Arms Co, 1858. Would like to install a set of Slixshot nipples.
By chance does anyone what size this pistola takes ?
Thanks
Bill

Post a picture for us brother.
every richland arms I've owned was a ASM. As such will use 12 x 28 threaded nipples. "Uberti" slixshot nipples is what you'll need.

Thanks my Brother ! I'll post a pic in a few.
With a serial 03195, I figure its older. But still functions great. Timing is good, lockup has very little movement.
Wizard,
She looks like she mat be a shooter! Only one way to find out!
Yes Sir you are correct.
Going to pickup the slixshot nipples and see what she does
Let us know how she groups!
Will do. It will prob shoot better than I can...lol
I suffer the same malady
whats the big deal with new nipples?? all you guys the first thing you do when you get a new pistol is spend a bunch of money on new nipples instead of breaking in the ones you have.. if there was a place near me that was good the first thing I would do on my 58's is get a trigger job and whatever else they do to the action to make it shoot slicker..
Because this is an older pistol that appears to have been dry fired a few times and the nipples are damaged and I can not get caps on them.

Looking at an enlargement of your photo the nipple that can be seen looks to be thicker than the nipples on a Pietta version.
What size caps are you trying and could you put up a picture of a rear view and a side view of the cylinder by itself?

Morning, I was trying both #10 and #11 caps, but the ends of 5 of the nipples are flared out from what I am assuming was caused by being dry fired.
I could prob pull them and file back to shape, but figured if I have to pull them, why not just upgrade to better nipples.
I will get some pics sometime today and post.

I have a Richland arms 58 . Looks just like yours. It takes the same nipples as all of my revolvers. it is 6X,75. Before you spend a bunch of cash . maybe you should check first.
Thank you for the post and information Sir. I think I will pull one today and stop by Ace Hardware and use their thread checking board.
That’s why you don’t shoot from the hip! No pun intended!
Was just thinking, and that's dangerous for me.....
I have other C&B pistols from Pietta and Uberti. Why dont I pull a nipple out of one of them and see what matches. Duh
