Graf's is a great shop and I'm glad they are nearby... but their prices are going up again. Their musket 4-wing caps went from $135/1000 to $169/1000 just in the past few weeks - and they are currently OUT OF STOCK on any caps but cases of 5000 Reenactment Caps for $775.99.
Graf's used to have a store in St Charles, MO, but sold it around Covid time. The new owner hired a new guy there at the new store, and asked him to order some percussion caps back in 2022. Unfortunately for the owner, that new guy made an ordering mistake, and ordered 75,000 4-wing caps. After I heard about the possible existance of local caps from a local n-ssa shooter, I went in and talked to the guys there. Understandably, they are anxious to unload as many of these musket caps as possible. Their regular price right now is $10.xx/100, but they said if I bought a brick of them they'd sell them for $9/100. A brick of 1000 ended up running me about $97! (including tax)
I told them that I'd post this on the ML forum, and they thought that would be great! They said they would work with y'all as far as shipping and hazmat chgs. It sounded like they might charge for those like Graf's does - maybe about $23.50 for hazmat and $12.95 or so for actual shipping?? These guys seem like good guys to work with!
Their phone number is on the cash receipt. Give them a call, and tell them you heard about it on the ML forum!

Oh, yeah - the n-ssa guy asked me what Full Circle charged for the brick of caps. When I told him, he snuck away from work the next day to go buy himself a brick "just to put away"!
