Snap Caps
      #114126 - 10/09/08 09:58 PM

Hi all, quick question, my .470 NE Dumoulin arrived at my local gundealer today (6 months after I bought it and sent it to have it converted to double triggers *&^* !)so I can pick it up tommorow and start practicing. I have a set of Kynoch nickel snap caps for a .500NE and 2 fired cases from a .470 NE (which don't have the hard rubber absorber in the primer hole, Kynoch were out of stock in .470NE snap caps) and I notice they seem to be exactly the same dimensions using a micrometer. (obviously the snap cap on the .500NE is only 1.5" long so the neck on the .470 doesn't enter into it) SO will the .500 snap caps work OK ? best, Mike

Yes, I use 470 and 500 Snap caps all the time and
just grab whatever I have closest at hand.

I contacted Kynoch after a set of .470 snap caps also but they had none, does any one know who sells them in Australia or another good make? prefer english if possible, Thanks

Steve

RLI, There is a US brand that makes anadized alumininum snap caps made to the same as the total catridge avaliable at most Aus gun shops.
They make 470NE SCs at a good price.

Midway USA has 470 NE snap caps for $7.25 each. Just do a search on 470 NE and they will pop up.
