Intrigued…..
Thank you, but it’s more about do RFDs use them and if not why not?Snap caps are fine when they are new. After repeated use they get an indent on the “anvil”, the bit where the firing pin hits it and gradually become ineffective at what they were designed to do.
When I want to relax the firing pin springs, usually after shooting and whilst cleaning the gun, l hold a coin over the pin and pull the trigger.
I sometime think that the taboo on firing on an empty chamber is to deter excessive repetition which somehow could damage the gun. Perhaps a gunsmith could elaborate on this?
However, I avoid doing it.
Do they have them in the guns already?The gun shops that I use have snap caps, if I ask for them, I get them. I use them to check both the triggers and the ejectors.
No. I've never seen them in a gun on the shelf. They usually have some handy as Westley says to check the operation of trigger and ejectors while supervised but that's all.Do they have them in the guns already?
NO, I don't think they could afford the large amounts of toilet tissue that would be required when someone opened a gun to find something in the chambers.Do they have them in the guns already?
Ah yes, the noisy snap caps are terrifyingly popular…NO, I don't think they could afford the large amounts of toilet tissue that would be required when someone opened a gun to find something in the chambers.
When you have witnessed as many incidents as I have with the misuse of snap caps, it makes you very wary of the things !
