Red Rider Rudy Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Just bought a North American Arms black powder pistol, and they say only use remington #11 percussion caps. No one around St Louis Mo. has them. Were can I get some? Thanks Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Your going to be searching "On Line" with your fingers crossed and buying in bulk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilli GaHoot Galoot Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 And be VERY suspicious of any vendor you have never heard of that has tons of them in stock!! Look at the payment options, if they take PP or any cripto they are almost always a scam site 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I called Shyda's and they can't ship hazmat currently due to no employees that are certified. They hoping for the beginning of the year. Just FYI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Rider Rudy Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 Thanks everyone for the help. My friend got me these RWS 1075, I think they will work, just need to make a pusher tool to get them all the way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pb Mark Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Read your post, so got out my NAA Earl BP and checked what I could for you. I tested RWS 1075 Plus, Reminton #11, CCI #11, Winchester 11 Magnum caps for fit. Winchesters were closer fit than RWS. CCI's were way too tall. Only the Remington #11'S will work on either cylinder of my gun. The anvil thickness looked like the issue, not the length of the skirts on the other caps. Not a scientific study, just a quick check for FYI. These are precision little revolvers with zero slop. NAA has always specified only Rem #11's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb Mark Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Here are the test pics. Possibly there is a chance NAA also knows Rem #11"s are sometimes unobtainable these days. These specialized nipples are removed by inserting a little Allen wrench into the flame hole. Maybe there is a chance NAA has alternative nipples available?
