Mako's percussion cap primer -- Found an intact copy

Thought this fine article was forever lost, once The Open Range went away.

I believe the Cap & Ball Revolvers, Pistols and Rifles group on Facebook has a copy also; as well as a plethora of other reference files in regards to C&B guns.

Wow, that's well done -- excellent piece of work.

I'll have to read again later, but the exhaustive detail and images seen in a quick review reminds me of the technical articles that were written about primers, cases or powder position that would be published in "Precision Shooting Magazine" for benchrest shooters (long gone now...).

Good find -- thanks!

I've come across other pieces by Mako with some very nice graphics, unfortunately some of them were missing or wouldn't load. They were geared towards the inner workings of the Colts. I've done searches for them but haven't been able to find the complete document like this one on Caps & Nipples. Anyone have them or know where to find them?
