Remington Foil Lined Percussion Caps

[user 48702]

When did Remington stop making the foil lined percussion caps? The last I remember buying was in the early 1980s in the PX. I still have some I bought about 1974 with a .98 cent sticker on the back.

When did Remington stop making the foil lined percussion caps?

Don't know.

Bought thousands of Remington #11 caps during the last panic for $2.99 per hundred: The boxes are marked "New Hotter Cap". The pellets are lined with something that looks like aluminum foil. Once in a great while a primer pellet will fall out of the cap.

Remington caps used to have a priming disc in them that would sometimes fall out in the tin. Their caps improved considerably when they quit making them this way about 15 years ago.

I’ve put the pellet back in the empty primer and most of the time they worked fine. This only when plinking. Waste not want not.

The Remmy caps I bought for "nothing" back in the 1960s and the little flake of metal/paper(?) would fall out from time to time. Other than that they performed well. Haven't bought any in recent years.

Back in 2020, my local gun store was getting ride of a lot of thier back stock and I happened to see a couple cases of those.
Needless to say, they made me a deal I couldn’t refuse and bought their entire stock(3 full cases), I’ve never had a problem firing any of them.
Supposed to have been made in the late 70’s.

I know this is a couple years old, but I have seen two types of Remington Caps lately.

The newer one looks to be a gold colored or a bright brassy color

What I think is the older ones are Green inside.

It seems odd for what I think are newer type and older type in the system.
