Looking For #11 Percussion Caps

[gungate]

Any leads? I see some but they are all on suspected scam sites.

Fort chambers has always been my go to for anything like this, but you'd have to call.

Ask The Saint if he has any or knows where you can get some.

Saw #11's at the Nation's gun show in Chantilly earlier today/Saturday. A CCI can was $11.99. If you enter via tha large hall, the vendor selling powder in one of the rows far to the right, you'll find them. #10 caps were $15.99 per hundred. I was no black powder at the show today.

Just picked up #11 caps at Hafer’s(WV) last weekend. CCI #11 $15.99 per hundred.

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

I have a few tins left at the shop...once these are gone I don't know when I'll have more.

So, WHY is there such a shortage of caps? Are people hoarding? Production down? I don't see any anti gun legislation aimed at them.

Seems like its been a production issue. Availability, while spotty, has definitely improved from a year ago when you couldn't find them anywhere. But, it's still spotty as you see from this thread. I bought a couple of the RWS tins of 250 at Fort Chambers last year, and their were several tins of CCi and Remington at Saint Firearms when I was there last week.

I think it's a little bit of both.

Once prices on caps went up dramatically, availability seemed to increase. I bought a ROA (my first BP gun) in 2021 and didn't get to actually shoot it for 8 months because I couldn't find caps. Even then, I had to resort to gunbroker scalpers.

Where is your shop? Do you ship?

War. The firms that make caps are also making ammunition...and demand is very, very high. Something about Ukraine...

He's on Back River Neck Rd in Essex, Saint Firearms. As far as shipping goes, I think percussion caps require Hazmat shipping

Vicki Sue Robinson and Gloria Estefan sing your praises.

I have a few of these. If you can't find anything, I could probably spare a tin or two. I'm in Westminster

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