Question for Frontiersman

[Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409]

I have run into an issue with removing spent caps. Does anyone know of a tool that is made for that purpose aside from using a pair of pliers?

 

TIA

If you are tally about being stuck on nipple . Then I use cas mouth of spent rifle shell 44/40 but don’t matter what size 

[Jackson Haller]

I wore a small neck knife for that purpose; fit the outfit/character as well!

Thanks for all the suggestions.  Now to explore which will work best for me.

When I work the unloading table at a Plainsman match I keep a small screwdriver handy for shooters to pull off spent caps.  They always use it.  I hate to see someone's fingertip sliced by a sharp, spent cap.

Used my screw knife to assist whenever they would be stuck.

I also use a screw knife or a small screwdriver that I carry on my gun belt.

I always keep a fairly small sheath knife on my belt for just such an occurrence!

 

It’s also handy for knocking the wedges out of my ‘51 and my ‘60s when I need to get the barrel off quickly. I just tap the end of the wedge with the handle end of the knife!!

Use a screw knife, I also keep a uncle Henry folding pocket knife my grandpa passed down for the ones that get stuck between the cone and the cylinder if the screw knife can't get to it.

Screw knife here as well, unless I've forgotten or misplaced it, then it's the fixed blade on my belt.

Pocket knife, belt knife or fingernail... With either Treso or Slickshot nipples, that's a fairly rare occurrence.

Additionally, I'd really like to run into one of those CVA Multi-Tools.  Don't see 'em onna web site (darn).

Once again thanks for the suggestions. I have already tried the screw knife or small pocket knife that I always carry. The empty case will be to keep in mind. But I did try Duc's suggestion of the forceps...worked great. Harbor Freight had just the right size.
