Barry Sloe Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I just ordered a Polish Capper and was curious how long it took to make it across the pond? Thanks, BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, BS Seems like mine took about 10 days. When it arrives the envelope will be covered in beautiful stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Hangtree Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 How do these really compare to the Cash snail cappers? Are they really worth the extra wampum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Can't use the TC snail cappers on a Remmie 58 unless the cylinder is modified with a Dremel. This was developed specifically for the Remmie, hence the appeal. However, the Polish cappers don't work on Colts unless the capper is modified.

Yul Lose Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It took exactly 10 days from the time it was ordered to receive mine and with a little file work and polishing it works very well capping Ruger Old Armies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Hangtree Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think they just came out with a Colt model, Slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remington shooter needed a good option (besides grinding the cylinder like I did), but the last time I looked, the Polish capper was more than twice the price of a Ted Cash snail capper that works just fine on Colt replicas.

Never used the Snail Capper as my first C&B gun was a 58 Remington. However the Polish capper is machined brass while the snail capper is made from folded brass sheet. I really like mine and feel it is worth the money. I am looking forward to when I can buy one for for the 1851 Army that I recently acquired.

Yul Lose Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Another nice thing about the Polish Capper is that you can seat the caps with the capper, it’s that well built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I use mine. I have a nice deer antler seating tool but found I don't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 If I shot Remmie clones (and I don't) I'd buy one in a heartbeat instead of modifying cylinders. Since I'm accustomed to using a TC snail capper that works really well on my Colt clones, I've no desire for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castalia,SASS#18915 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Ditto' Got mine in 10 days. Outstanding craftsmanship and a thing of beauty. Be sure to watch the video on how to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I got mine in like 10 or 11 days as well. The thing looks so nice it's a shame I have to mess it up with use. I am seriously tempted to buy a second one just to put it on the mantle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
