caps for colt

[flintlockmdj]

It's been a long, long time since I owned a c&b revolver and now I am getting another. It's a '51 navy round barrell by Army San Marcos. What size caps should I use with it? 10 or 11?

Depends on the nipples. Some of them take a #10 and some an 11. Only way to know for sure is to try some and see. Usually though a #11 will work on either but you may need to pinch them a little.

And considering they don't cost a heck of alot ($3.99 in my area), Stock up when yopu find the right size. Usually if you have several pistols if one size won't fit the other will, so th;ey won't go to waste.
