Nipple Size for '58 Remington by ASP

[Norton Commando]

Does anyone know the nipple thread size/ profile for a '58 Remington replica made by Armi San Paolo?

It appears to be a 5.8mm X .75, which sure seems odd. I would like to replace them with nipples designed for #11 caps, but I'm uncertain about the thread size.

Thanks,

All of the 7 different ASP Remingtons I had or now own take/took the 6 X .75mm nipples. They are the same pitch for Piettas also. Some of the newer Piettas may take a different thread pitch but I can't remember for sure, maybe 5.5 X .75mm.

The Ubertis and ASMs use the 12X28 (more coarse) threads  for their belt revolvers.

Thanks there hellgate; 6mm certainly makes sense.  I don't think 5.8mm is a "standard" thread size.

Update - I purchased a set of 6mm X 0.75 nipples from my local Bass Pro Shop today and they fit perfectly in my old ASP Remington.
