    Default WTB Navy colt mainspring and nipples

    I am in need of a replacement for this one, it seems too weak. I also need a set of nipples for it. The ones I have are getting like a mushroom effect.

    Default Try the following sites:

    http://dixiegunworks.com/

    http://www.ssfirearms.com/

    http://www.edsmart.com/jz/

    Your cylinder wedge might not be in far enough if you caps are not going off.
    Try tapping it in with a piece of wood like a screwdriver handle to tighten up the action.
    Be sure to let the sutler now who made your gun before ordering the nipples.
    Good Luck,
    Regards,

    you can also try
    www.vtigunparts.com
    www.trackofthewolf.com
    and of course try your gun manufacturer-sometimes they give good deals. And also try supporting your local economy, and craftsman by taking it to a gunsmith.
