ROA cylinder axis pin....bad news.

[tacfoley]

I'm afraid. I went to another local precision engineering company in the hope of getting what, to me, is a reasonable pricing in replicating the ROA cylinder axis pin.

A minimum of TEN gets me an initial unit cost of £50 plus VAT. If, like me, you are mathematically challenged and have to use a calculator, that works out at £60.00 before I add my meagre 10% profit for my trouble, and mailing it out at around £2.50 or so.

So, sorry, guys, you'll have to go ahead with your own arrangements.

ROA nipples, on the other claw, are still a go-er, at £18 a set of six including mail - just awaiting any more orders to add to the few I have already gotten to make it worth while in the shipping department.

Tac, is it just ROA nipples you get, or are you able to order nipples for the Uberti 1858?

I would be interested in a set of nipples for my ROA, where do i send my 20 english pounds to ?

Kindest regards

Unfortunately not. As far as I can tell they need to be either 5.5x.9 pistol, or 12-28tpi. Cheers anyway.

No Mr here, Sir. Just tac.

1. You are added to the list.

2. I gettem.

3. I post here that I've gottem.

4. Then you PM me to get my address here in UK, and, of course, your own, and I send the bits to you at the same time as you send your cheque to me.

Always worked just fine so far.

I have wrenches for the ROA, too. Details via PM.

Thanks.

Which?

I get both. Most likely to be metric, I reckon. I'll talk to Joe and check - watch this space.

Since my dealer/source is in PNW, I got a very fast resplone -

Hello Terry,

We measured a nipple in one of our Uberti ’58 revolvers and to the best of our measurements, the nipple is .215 diameter x 1.0 metric.

We do not stock replacement nipples for Uberti handguns and it would require us ordering them.

Awaiting your reply…


I reckon that by the time they've ordered them in they will prolly cost the same as getting them here.

Anyhow, I'm closing the 'shop' on Friday, Guys - order by then or go without

Cheers Tac.

As far as I can tell from online research they are exactly the same thread.

ETA: just read your reply. No worries, cheers anyway.

Thanks for that. I'm actually in the process of trying to get a price on Ampco nipples from Roaring Forties, failing which I may have to order them from the US.
