AFAIK; nobody carries them in the US. Don’t be worried about ordering them from the website.
They ship them out right away. I’ve ordered a half dozen at different times and they all got here okay.
There was only one that took a while to get here, The post office had more information than I did and showed me on their computer screen that the hold up was with customs.
Don’t let that keep you from ordering one as you won’t regret it.
I ordered a Polish capper last week. The fact you can firmly seat the cap with one is just incredible. I normally seat by hand on my revolvers and use a dowel to make sure theyre all the way down. This will save me a lot of time capping if the reports are to be believed.

Jonathan,
I've not seen anything like your round capper before but it's operation seems clear.
I like it's appearance. It doesn't seem to hold as many caps as the more common round cappers but looks lika a positive feed. Thanks for the clear pictures.

Hey Ohio, got any pics of your leather cappers? Looking for ideas!

Can you post a better pic of the leather capper?

I fish them out of the tin at the range and use a homemade one I made of leather for hunting. Sometimes it is just too damned cold to use the fingers in WY or MT during rabbit and deer season.

Just wanting to see different ideas. Need to make a couple.

Here is my very simple capper. I use it for hunting (you're in real trouble if you need more then 10 shots) and when I go to the range. this one is at least 35 to 40 years old and still working. I also included a picture of the rifle it is hanging on.

The Cash’s rifle capper makes a swell addition to this late percussion outfit:
It also works extremely well, and is period correct for this type of firearm. No handier way to carry caps for the rifle IMHO.

Use inline cappers. The ones that don’t work well or allow caps to flip are ‘given’ away or tossed. Have quite a few that are very dependable. Have learned to always carry more than one when using a percussion gun.

IMHO the difference of $20 for a Ted Cash and $50 for the polish one means BUY AMERICAN.
Normally I would agree with you. However, I have both cappers and the Polish version is much superior to the Ted Cash capper and worth every penny.
I have an original 1861 Bridesberg .58 that uses the large musket caps. I haven't seen a capper for it yet. I have a bunch of the smaller inline cappers. Every time I order one I'm told this is the right capper and it's always too small.
Some day I'm gonna buy a gun just to use one of those cappers!
