I'll assume Ruger no longer has their nipple wrenches for sale since the Old Army has not been cataloged since 2008. Midway USA used to stock the ROA wrenches but just now showed not available.

Have found several original style wrenches at gun shows over the years but they are not common.

Suggest you try a free classified ad here in the forum in the "Shooting Accessories Wanted" section.

Maybe another member knows a source.

Sorry I can't help you with a source for an original-style nipple wrench, but in my opinion those wrenches were cumbersome to use so I put mine away in the miscellaneous parts box and used a 3/16" nut driver instead. :thumbsup: Worked MUCH better for me as my hands aren't quite as supple as they used to be. :redface:

You can find 3/16" nut drivers at places like Harbor Freight and they are inexpensive to boot!

No offense intended. It looks like lonewolf5347 wants an original style wrench that came with Ruger Old Armies. These are an "L" shape, not a "T". Usually the original wrenches are Ruger marked.

duh. why didn't I think of that?

Thanks for the post ... gotta swing by the hardware store anyway.

:hatsoff:

 

No offense taken.
I owned two Old Army revolvers over the years but I couldn't have told you what the wrenches looked like except that they were not standard.
I'm surprized to read in this thread that they are discontinued. I was never much of a pistol shooter but consider the Ruger heads and tails above all over cap and ball revolvers.

 

If the original is really important...

There is one on ebay at the moment
