Default Nipple size

I was just wondering about Nipple thread size. I have an Italian 50 Cal Hawken, no name on it just a large capitol letter I inside a square box stamped on the barrel. I am out of town and saw a nipple that uses a hand gun primer and the thread size is 6.1 mm. Was wondering if it would fit. I hate to spend $20 and it not fit. Any help would be appretiated. Thanks.

6x.75 are for the Italian jobs normally. 6x1 are for the CVA and the Traditions rifles... They are spanish. 1/4-28 are the Thompson Center, Knightand Green Mountain rifles..

Thanks, I thought I tried a 6.1mm before and it didn't work just couldn't remember. I see you are from Wisconsin. The weather is beautiful in WI now as compared to the souths hot temps.I had to come to Ft McCoy for the week, beautiful country.
