GG,

Yes, I produced them a couple of years ago.

I will have a look what I have left.

Or it looks like John Saunders at Century Arms still does them. Pricy, though.

You might try David Little from Kynamco. I bought a few sets of snap caps and am very pleased with them. He takes Kynoch brass, cuts them down, adds the spring loaded dampener (with screw adjustment) and nickel plates the entire works. I spoke briefly with David and Sue at SCI in January, and he had them in his booth. I assume he still has some for sale.

I can't find his website at present, so try his email at
Kynamco@aol.com

Hope this helps.

I use A-ZOOM caps. While not as sexy as the ones listed here they are cheap and work. It depends on what you want them for, to "look proper" or to protect the pins when lowered.

Yep, the A-Zooms are about the cheapest option. As a Lyman product, should be fairly easy to get, too.

The Oz agents are Nioa's, but for .470 NE, it'd be quicker to order direct from Lyman
or Grafs I suspect.

Thanks fellas

Have just placed an order with Grafs but if there are any problems I'll see what Smiths have.

Cheers.
