Percussion Cap Information

[expat_alaska]

I find that with all the information sporadically available about different percussion caps, I have not found a source that puts it all together in one spot.

This may not cover everything available, but it suits my interests very well.

Enjoy!

Regards,

Jim

I posted this for informational purposes only with no financial gain, which is well within copyright law.

If you think I have crossed the line, report it to the mods. They will make the determination whether the thread should be deleted or not. I have no problem with that.

No good deed goes unpunished.

My Remington #11 caps don't match the length noted. They are longer than CCI #11 caps. Discovered this when i attempted to load Remington #11 caps in my inline capper; hey are too long for the capper. These are the Remington #11 caps i have:



My Remington #10 caps are just a little shorter than my #11 caps, they fit my capper.

On another note, does anyone know what happened to Mako? He had several outstanding CAD models like these cap ones except they were dealing with the internal workings of our revolvers and timing.

Here's his profile page which shows when he last logged on to THR. --->>> https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?members/makos_goods.125755/

Whatever happened to him, he deleted his avatar before he last logged in.
On another forum, his avatar was still being shown there.

The box of Remington caps pictured are old stock I think. A few Years back I purchased 5000 of those from 3rdGen shooting supplies. Regret no buying more. When J went back they were all gone. I think they were a better product than the newer stuff.

"The box of Remington caps pictured are old stock I think. A few Years back I purchased 5000 of those from 3rdGen shooting supplies.

Bought about 4,000 caps from that company during the last panic. Located in El Reno, OK: The company is also known as Gene Sears Supply.

Those caps have one problem, the pellet sometimes falls out. But that's a good check on flinching.

Maybe that’s why Remington dropped that style. Wasn’t sure what FC (Foil Cap?) was anyhow.
