I recently picked up a pretty rough 1858 Remington... gummed up pretty bad, the guts were packed with soot and sludge... could barely get the cylinder pin out.
Anyhow, disassembling it for a cleaning and inspection and I have it all down but for ONE stupid nipple that wont budge.
Ive soaked it from both ends with penetrating oil and the two nipple wrenches I have just arent making it.
They are almost bending and rounding off, all while the nipple sits there laughing at me.
Any other ideas on this, other tools that can be improvised?
The nipple itself is clear and I suppose I could just leave it in there, but I would like to be able to get it out.
