Looking For #11 Percussion Caps

[Threeband]

I wonder if the guy out in Winchester VA has any?

540-888-3349 Back Creek Gun Shop, Winchester Va - Black Powder & Musket Caps - Goex, Swiss, & Schuetzen black powder, musket & pistol caps, lube, patches. N-SSA

Shooting supplies for civil war reenactors, competitive shooters and the black powder hunter. Goex, Swiss and Schuetzen black powder are available.

www.blackpowderva.com

He has them listed at $175 for 2500.
He's getting old, I hear. He may only be open during the skirmish season, though I'm only speculating. His shop is on the exit road from Fort Shenandoah, and skirmishers stop and buy powder and caps after a skirmish.

If someone really wants caps, I suggest they try to get him on the phone. Winchester really isn't a bad drive from central Maryland, and if you really want caps and powder...

Jackie is normally open Skirmish weekends…typically Sunday 1100-1500. But you can probably call.

Back to the OP…how much powder/caps do you need?

Thanks for all the leads. I got a "Traditions" .50 cal percussion revolver kit that I built a couple years ago that I am finally wanting to shoot. My BIL is just getting into flintlock and percussion rifles (for hunting) and next time I go see him I was going to take it for a first firing. That won't be for a few months so I am not pressed for time. Too bad I did not get everything I need to shoot this when I actually built it.

100 caps will probably last me for a couple years I cannot imagine shooting this much.

Given your location, call Atlantic Guns. They usually have some manner of blackpowder guns and supplies. Or Gun Shack in Mt Airy.

Gun Shack says they have not had them in over 2 years. I'll try Atlantic.

Oh wow OK. I go there from time to time and just remember them having a BP section. I’ve bought caps from Atlantic before but it’s been awhile.

Maybe a bit of a a hike but Clyde’s in Halethorp might be another place to try. Again, it’s been awhile but I’ve bought caps and Goex from him over the years.

Maybe Haffers? They seem to have just about everything. It’s a hike for me but I like going just to browse. I bought a Savage 99 there and consigned a few sporting shotguns. Good folks.

No caps, no powder at Clyde's. Was there last week. Gunshack doesn't have caps, but does have 3F and 1F BP in stock. Was there today on way home from Frederick.

Fort Chambers will have caps. And they will be open multiple days with regular hours unlike Back Creek.

I told the OP I have them and event sent PM, he doesn't seem to want to follow up on it. There's nothing more than I can do than that. Would love to help feed a BP addiction but can't if one doesn't want it.

Are they selling to anyone now? The last time I was there, a year ago, they would only sell if they knew you. (meaning you were a good customer)

I went home with powder and caps.

 

[MeatGrinder]

I got some at Saint Firearms just a few weeks ago.

Don't know. I went in their last fall and bought powder and a tin of 250 RWS #11 caps.

Sorry - I did get your PM but a bit too far for now.
