percussion caps

The percussion cap or percussion primer, introduced in the early 1820s, is a type of single-use percussion ignition device for muzzle loader firearm locks enabling them to fire reliably in any weather condition. Its invention gave rise to the cap lock mechanism or percussion lock system which used percussion caps struck by the hammer to set off the gunpowder charge in rifles and cap and ball firearms. Any firearm using a caplock mechanism is a percussion gun. Any long gun with a cap-lock mechanism and rifled barrel is a percussion rifle. Cap and ball describes cap-lock firearms discharging a single bore-diameter spherical bullet with each shot.

    In need of a tin or two of these; I recently acquired a revolver and the nipples are a bit too small for the #11 ones I found locally. Let me know what you've got.

    Looking to pick up a percussion revolver, shockingly no stores near me seem to carry shot. If you've got some or a mold to make them, I'd love to take a look.

    For Sale or Trade. CCI Number 10 Percussion Caps 900 count. Originally 1000 from midway, found they didn't fit my Uberti like the forums told. So I'm keeping the tin I opened. I am looking for either Remington Number 10 Caps or CCI Number 11 Magnum Caps. Normally I'd ship stuff free of charge...

    #11 Percussion Caps available at Cabelas in Tualatin, OR

    $15 on the floor in the black powder section, not the pistol and rifle primers section.As of this posting, there are 16 packages of 100qty. I know these are hard to come by. I am going to use #10's for my revolver but if I get a BP rifle, at least I'll have some.

    Percussion caps

    Not sure this is truly thread worthy...more of along the lines of tossing this out there as something to consider. The availability of percussion caps being hit or miss ...it might be wise to invest in a few sets of nipples for your percussion guns. Often you can switch sizes...so if you can...

    THIS PART IS IMPORTANT, DON'T SKIP OVER IT! CCI #10 caps have a smaller ID than #11 caps and might not fit current production Italian imported pistols, or they might. There is no hard and fast rule on which size fits which pistol on the imports. I have a buddy with a couple Ruger Old Armys...
