You are a hard man to please.
Obviously a custom item but one did come up for sale at Rock Island.

Other than pinching #11 caps for a revolver, does anyone make a revolver nipple that can use #11 caps? This is open to any maker or BP revolver style.

Quit being obtuse

I think the word you meant to use is, "abstruse".

Nope definitely obtuse.

The cap making device linked is a version of the Forrester Tap-o-cap. Instead of using loose priming compound you can use toy roll caps. Buy a small pliers type hole punch. Use it to cut out the paper caps . Wear safety glasses! Stuff three roll caps into the aluminum cap shell.

Toy roll caps use Potassium Chlorate - they are very, very corrosive to your gun.

Once again, a couple of people turn an interesting thread into a political thread, complete with caustic remarks about each other.

I'm closing this thread. I think all of the interesting stuff dealing with the cap shortage has already been discussed.
