RE: CCI Four Wing Musket Caps #301 for 1861 Springfield

[jonathan butcher]

I'm trying to locate a tin of musket caps for an 1861 Springfield I just recieved. I went to GunBroker and thought I bought a tin of 100 through GunBroker Pay but am not sure I navigated the system correctly and am beginning to think I didn't place an order at all.
Would someone steer me in the right direction to buy a tin of musket caps ? Thanks in advance.

I have only seen them offered in 1,000 lot orders online. With the hazmat and shipping costs, it will run about $ 150.00.

Log into Gunbroker . Go to my welcome in top right corner and scroll down to buying to check status of order.

It's expensive to order just one tin of caps. Shipping and Hazmat will really raise the price. If you insist in doing that.
Here you go.

I just noticed you have #301 in the title. Those are CCI caps and they're re-enactor caps. Is that what you're looking for? Caps that don't ignite powder?

You'll need to buy 1000 caps to make it worth your while if buying online. RWS (German) caps are the best and here is a good place to buy them. Stay away from the CCI caps.

No! I'm looking for regular musket caps!

I just placed an order w/ Dixie for these, should I cancel my order ??

Edit:
I just cancelled my order w/ Dixie, am ready to start over! This is one time I'm glad Dixie are weeks behind on their orders.

If you don't want to buy 1000. Use the link I posted. They ship right away and Hazmat is cheap. Plus, the caps are 10 times better than CCI.

 

[jonathan butcher]

I will. I just don't think I'll shoot this rifle 1,000 times otherwise ordering more makes sense.

You might be surprised how many times you'll shoot it, they are addictive and the caps won't go bad. I use a half a tin of caps in a Sunday AM skirmish.

 

[jonathan butcher]

You know what- you’re right. 1,000 caps it is. Now where should I order them from ?

I once thought the same thing about #11 caps. Turns out that first 1000 lasted less than a year.

 

[deermanok]

Muzzle-Loaders.com has free shipping but you'll pay about 30 bucks for the hazmat fees.

See my post, #6, above. While you are there need any powder?

I’m already singing a different tune!

ever think of replacing your nipple to one that takes #11, caps?

 

[jonathan butcher]

I didn’t know there was such a thing.

go on line and look them up. most dealers have them, GUN WORKS, DIXIE, S&S, LOG CABIN, ETC, and the list goes on. hope this helps you? they have musket threads, to thread into the breach, and a # 11 nipple on top. a simple job, just unscrew one and insert the other, no modification needed.
