Re: Something new, Uberti Colt Army 1860 .44 BP

Alas I was let shoot a number of black powder handguns at mebclub a month ago. One was a Remington 1858 replica. A walker or dragoon revolver was also in attendance. And a Colt 1851 or 1860.
Alas I was also told second hand they were cheap!
So a near completely new Uberti Colt Army 1860 .44 BP revolver is on its way to me. A$245 so not expensive. The two dealer transfer fees of $200 does hurt though.
Needs one nipple replaced on the revolver cylinder. I'd like one or more extra cylinders. And FFFG BP, that may take a while. Ball mould, wads, caps etc, powder flask. I have a measure already. And a holster of course!
At my club, one of the guys had some spare nipples. Tried them to see if they fitted. Yes they did, when we took off an existing nipple. But didn't fit on the nippleless chamber.
It seems the arsehole spun me a tale, about his competition requiring an empty chamber. The nippleless chamber's thread is stripped.
Need either a new cylinder, or a new handgun.
The guys also claimed, it's not a Uberti?
