Capper for .44 Remington 1858 revolver?

#1 Post by River »

I have just got a Uberti .44 Remington 1858 revolver - I want to get a Capper to make putting on the Percussion Caps easier, however I hear that the space around the nipples is quite tight and not all cappers will fit - any recomendations on the best one to get please?

Some of the inlines may fit with a bit of tweaking, my Ted Cash inlines won't fit my Pedersoli Remington but an old cheapy Italian with a bit of bending does.

For Remingtons I usually open out the nipple gap with a dremel and a cone grinding wheel to take snail cappers as I prefer their greater capacity.
