Hollands, Purdeys or Westley Richards will all get any size of snap caps run up for you, the maker of these is a chap named Mike Marsh, he makes virtually all the tools that accompany the fine rifles from these makers and has done so for many years. Gold plated or nickel plated are the usual options, although nickel is far more practical, not to say less costly.

Dropping an e-mail to any of these companies will get you a price estimate, They are not a low cost option however, the cost of a pair of snap caps here i nthe U.K by any one of these makers will be in the order of £60 - £70.

If your calibre is one of the more usual N.E ones then drop David Little a line ay Kynoch (Kynamco Ltd) in Mildenhall, Suffolk, England.

David has his caps built on fired brass cases to which he adds a hard plug of rubber to the primer pocker, I have used them in both .375 and .500 and they work just fine.

The cost of these here i nthe U.K is around £23 per pair, which is a fraction of the cost of the other makes, they are offered in nickel plated version only at present.

As far as I am aware you should be able to place a credit card order for these and have them shipped in a padded post packet to you homew address.

hope this helps.
