#11 Caps Available Anywhere?

[Knute]

Has anyone seen #11 caps (for a .54 cal), lately? I've looked off and on for two months, and the big on-line places always out of stock.

If no, and you live in the Tigard / Newberg area, I'd be willing to buy 100 count sleeve/box from you

Hi Andy - thank you and it's a pretty long ride down to Springfield for me so they're plan "b" right now.

Where can you order them online at? I've been looking and I have not been able to find number elevens anywhere.

Maybe , swap the #11 nipples for #10 or Musket nipples...if the firearm design allows for it...
And if you can find #10 or Musket caps in your area.

The nearest modern gun shop by me...has Musket caps in stock fairly often.

The gun works is really the only option they are the biggest place in the NW but also Tiny

The Hawken Shop in Oak Harbor has 'em ....might be able to mail order them ....

I use musket caps and I have plenty, cheapest conversion is a musket nipple like Andy says.

From what I have seen they r impossible to find. Checked 4 local stores and 8-10 online shops. Musket are only ones available. I bought a BP gun and cannot shoot it as BP due to this. Others are in the same boat and selling off the guns they bought because they can't use them. I guess people are hoarding the caps? Sucks (and very frustrating) for new BP shooters cuz basically it comes down to ppl begging and pleading to get enough to shoot their gun. I thought about using cut down emptied 22 rounds or shotgun primers but not sure it's worth the trouble. Only viable option I have found is this, which I am not willing to do:

In case anybody is still looking for no 11 caps. Cascade Farm and Outdoor in Keizer had bunches of them a couple of weeks ago.

I remember seeing this a while back and found it again.

Guy says it works great with a SPP being softer than rifle primers. Just a piece of vinyl tube of which the primer fits snugly into.

I might have to give it a try later.

I have considered machining an adapter that 'press fits' over a nipple with a recess to accept a SPP.

Great idea! I have some Italian caps of some sort and haven't been able to find rem #10 anywhere less that 54 cents a piece. I'm not sure it woudl work for revolver though.
