Thanks to one of our members mentioning this site to me and thanks to Claude for setting up a link to it here is the path to a very well written and illustrated description of percussion caps.

I don't know who wrote it so if you have disagreements with it, don't accuse me. :grin:


To get to the link go to our Forums;

Member Resources area in the Forum Index

Click on Articles-Charts-Links

Click on Links, Charts, Reference

Click on "Links"

Click on "Muzzleloading Weapons"

Click on "More than you ever wanted to know about Percussion Caps"

It will take you to another forums site where there is a wealth of information about percussion caps.

If your too lazy to follow the instructions I gave up above, you can click on the link posted below. http://www.theopenrange.net/forum/index.php?topic=9093.0

If the link doesn't work try following my directions up above. :grin:

You lovers of Flintlocks: This obviously isn't for you guys so we don't need a bunch of comments bad mouthing Percussion guns. Thanks. :)

Great article. Thanks for posting that. I saved the link for a reference material. Learned more in ten minutes than you could get from all the internet opinions you could read in two days.
