I ordered some new stainless nipples for the Colt Navy original cylinder from Track of the Wolf. The total price was $75 USD including $40 postage to Spain.
They arrived yesterday (quick delivery) and the postman mugged me for 25 Euros on behalf Spanish Customs. Robbing b*stards charged me 25 Import duty on goods worth 30 Dollars US !
I decided against the alternative from Peter Dyson in the U.K. He does carbon steel blued nipples for original Colts and he wants TEN Pounds Stirling each plus postage. Obviously there would be no import duty.
Still I'm glad I bought the TOTW because apart from the fact they are stainless the quality is superb, I have them in my Uberti and my Pietta Navy Yank snub. On the flats they have the tiny letters COLT.......Unbelievable.
Anyway Today I coated them with Copper slip anti seize compound and screwed them into the original cylinder. They look real pretty. I'm going to have to go and try them this week.
