Hi pards, . . . got a problem. Have an Armi San Marco '58 that I got cheap as part of a deal for Xmas of '06. Decent shape except for a really, really beat to hell cylinder. Ok. Shoots fine. An extra pistol. On the SASS wire someone had a cylinder for it for sale. No pistol. One nipple missing. Ok, . . I bought it. Great. 98 % condition. Makes the pistol look real decent and the beat up cylinder is available for reload. Fine. A week or so ago I oder spare springs and one nipple from VTI . Package shows up today with no nipple. Back ordered "in case they are ever available" ! I'm not happy. Done busness with 'em a few times and all was fine, but it would be nice if their web site listed somthingt as not being in stock when it's not. But glad to have the extra springs for the pistol, as I like to have parts for all guns. Question is, . . where do I get a nipple (s) to fit a Armi San Marco ? Do any of the tresto nipples have the right size and thread ? . . . can the Armi San Marco cylinder be tapped out to take Pietta nipples ? . . information appreciated.
Good shootin', . . . .
