****Scam Alert**** CCI Percussion Caps

[TechMoron]

They have an ad up on Facebook. What a surprise that none of the 77 comments are available to view.

New website?
California address?
Los Vegas residence?

Red flags all over the place ! ! !

In fact here is the "business" as they reported the address as 6777 Treble Clef Ave (which is only in Vegas btw)

Yeah a lot of buying and selling going on in this single family home. I guess shipping and receiving is around back???

Looking at some of the word usage and grammar on the site they are foreigners.

 

[Sorry Dude]

Shipping time is 20-30 days. LOL Make sure they are long gone by the time you realize you been had.

I laid into No. 10’s and No. 11’s over the past years when the good was going and have several thousands.

It’s musket caps I’m dangerously low on. These are like trying to locate a hen’s tooth in a haystack in the middle of a thunderstorm.

I am afraid this cap shortage is going to kill off most of the percussion gun shooting because most shooters will be priced out of the hobby, and availability being so spotty.
The manufacturers obviously don’t want to tie up machine time and man hours to satisfy such a niche market.

You have to wonder if whoever lives there or owns the place has any idea some lowlifes are using their address for a scam? A dissatisfied ‘customer’ pounding on the front door could be quite the surprise.

Wow, very slick site. I went through and put in fake info and got to the payment part of the order. It directs you to PayPal to enter a credit card. Looks like it is hitting the real PayPal web site but hard to say; could be skimming the info. I bailed out at that point.

The real CCI is aware of the fake site. Check out the header on their website.

$7 a tin is believable when Walmart sells them for $5.65.

If you can get them. Last year I found 1 tin in all of the WM near me this year zero.

 

[son of rooster]

i did procure CCI #11 through muzzleloaders,com

 

[Old Bear]

There is a new fake CCI website that is very well done. These guys are getting more clever. Offering caps at $7 a tin. So tempting. Does not use the normal Zelle or Venmo red flags.

I got 2 tins at Cabbalas Gainesville VA last week for $14.99 each

I went to CCI web page and gave them the link. Maybe they will shut them down?

and the final nail in the coffin making shortages worse is guys buying 5K at a time every month to add to the 15K they already got

Generally speaking, 1-2 M for most individuals is prudent stocking; over that, and you are hoarding.

Was at a show yesterday and picked up some CCI #10s at $17.99. A bit high, but better than the $40 they were last year. First ones I've seen at a show in several years, so I didn't hesitate. He also had #11 and musket, both CCI and RWS. He had probably 5K of each, as he showed me his crate full.

Heap of caps available.

Midway has them, an about a week ago a Scheels had no limit at 10.99 an 11.99 a can,

Didn’t think you were in favor of folks making those types of buys?
