Cemetery Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Shot C&B Gunfighter over the weekend. Cleaned my toys, and while doing the final touches on my '66 the action locks up tight like a bank vault....son of a b**** right? :angry: Can't figure out what happened, so I cautiously took the side plate off so the guts don't spill out....can't figure out what's happening, so I take it apart slowly and meticuously, cause I hate putting the '66 back together.......still nothing....so I go for a total tear down.......what tumbles out with the final pieces? A crushed cap!! ......put it all back together and now it runs nice and smooth......cap jams in a rifle.....good grief..... On the brightside, it was at home, and not at a match.....

Coffinmaker Don't know if you can even calculate those odds................probably better chance of being the sole winner of PowerBall than getting a crushed percussion cap in your rifle innards..........

Noz Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Highly possible. Shoot your rifle, drop it on the table and shoot your cap guns over it. Fired caps pop off of the pistol regularly and can bounce in the wildest ways. Jump right into that open action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Percussion revolvers spit their spent caps to the right, so I'm guessing you shoot left handed and discard your rifle to your right side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
