So, I've gotten this black powder bug. I've had an ASM Colt Walker for going on 20 years and finally pulled it out of the safe again. I've also picked up a Pieta 1851 Navy revolver in .36 caliber.
So, big fingers and little percussion caps are a pain. I started poking around on thingiverse.com and found some 3d models of cappers.
I fired up the 3d printer this morning and it takes about 24 minutes to print out one of these at 32 layers.
I think that range time will be more fun in the future.

That is neat.
Nice. I had always just used my fingers to cap any percussion gun, then I finally got one of the inline cappers. I found it hard to believe just how much easier it made that chore.
Now I have several of them floating around the house.

If anyone wants one, PM me and I'll slip one in an envelope.
