Also make sure you soak the thing in some sort of penetrating oil for a while to make things easier.

cheers guys,i soaked it on oil overnight,sides of the nipple pretty much rounded of,
never used them tools before,
There is another way you could try but you risk butchering the nipple completely.
If you have got a small round file, remove the handle and the tang is usually a tapered square section. If the end is small enough you can tap it into the nipple and then, with a small set of mole grips, you could try turning it and it might release the nipple.
If it does not work almost straight away then I think you will need to find someone that can remove it for you.
It is possible that the thread exposed in the chamber is all that is corroded. If it is only that, once it has moved a fraction it should wind out.
It is reckoned that if you keep removing the nipples to clean the gun it can wear the thread and cause gas cutting.The hot gases can pass up the side of the nipple and burn away the thread on the nipple and the cylinder.
Once you have cleaned the gun and it is dry it would not do any harm to release the nipple, without unscrewing it, so that if any corrosion does appear while it is in storage it will not seize the nipple.
cheers for ya help
ill let you know how it goes,
ive always removed the nipples on my bp guns and spray with bit of brunox
Try soaking it in coca cola

thanks to a friend who browwed me a tap set,
the nipple out
Glad you got it out ok, without damage to the gun. For the future, it may help to put a tiny bit of copper grease on the threads after cleaning. I had trouble with unscrewing the nipples on my BP revolver, and an engineer friend suggested I try this. Never had any problems since, so summat must have worked!
