Yesterday I opened an ammo box I haven't opened in 6 years and found five more tins of CCI #10's. <={

Nice surprise!       I cleaned up some of the shop a couple weeks ago and found a zip lock bag full of caps.   Don't what size but they are all the same.   Must be 500 or so.   I must have gotten them in a gun deal or trade and forgot about them.   I know I did not put them in a zip lock bag.

#10 caps from Cabelas finally showed up.  Promised in 4 days but took 9 days to get them. I was beginning to think I got dupped and they were going to put me on Back Order.   Thankfully they came through.   I used to like Cabelas but I don't trust them anymore.

Nice pictures,  looks like a fun time.   What could more fun on a Sunday afternoon than box full of wieners.

I know you didn't just say that! (7+" (7+" (7+"

OK, since your mind wants to go that way I could change it to "hot dogs"   lol

Cabela's has Remington #10 Percussion caps in stock as of this posting for $12.99 /100.   I just ordered 500.   Total was $70+ change,  shipped to store for pick up in 4 days.    No hazmat if you can pick up in store.   Otherwise add $25 for hazmat charges.

Crazy Crow is a good place too.   I used to get catalogs from them but they may have quit.   Everything is online now.  I haven't bought anything there for years so they may have dropped me from the list.

Did you get that sheath from a girl named Cheyenne Tremblay?
She does some pretty good stuff at reasonable prices.

Mike,

They all look good.  Do you also make book covers? Or book covers that will hold a revolver?

Kevin

I have made some book covers.  Mostly for journals and things like that.   The hidden revolver thing might require some finesse but I think I could figure it out.

Cool!  How thick is the buffalo hide?

The Buffalo hide was about 8 oz.  which would be 1/8th inch.   The rifle sling is 2 ply with the flesh side (suede or rough side) on the side resting against your shoulder.   The rough side does not slip as easily as the grain side.

I lucked into one of these not long ago.  I've shot about 40 or so rounds through it.   It's a really fun little gun to play with.   Bring along a full size NMA to shoot at the same time.   Comparing the two side by side is a lot of  fun.

The aluminum Fiocchi can is the only one I haven't seen before.

Percussion Caps and Primers / Found some caps!
« on: April 21, 2024, 09:15:01 AM »
I went through an antique store to kill some time while waiting on my grandkids yesterday and I found three cap tins for my collection.  All three were ones I don't have.   Nothing exciting but I've never seen this CCI tin and I've never seen a Fiocchi percussion cap tin that was not labeled Alcan on it somewhere,  this Fiocchi can is aluminum.   I've seen the green & white label but never a light blue one.    The CCI tin and the Fiocchi tin are nearly full.

I have several revolvers I bought new, both Pietta and Uberti.    There is no consistency in the size of caps that work with each revolver.   I always have four sizes of caps with me.   That's the argument for Slixshot nipples.  Change all your nipples to Slixshot which are sized for #11 caps.    Look at the link below for a list of the caps that Slixshot says fit their nipples.

I can't afford $40 per revolver so I'll keep carrying several sizes of caps
