S&B 4 mm Percussion Caps - 100 pcs.

Percussion caps with a 4 mm diameter, designed for black powder firearms equipped with percussion locks, manufactured by the Czech brand Sellier & Bellot. Suitable for use in a range of black powder revolvers and pistols.

Each box includes 100 caps.

Historical Outline

Percussion locks first appeared in the 19th century. Firearms featuring this locking mechanism rapidly superseded earlier variants utilizing flint locks. Contributing factors to this transition included a significantly reduced risk of misfires, enhanced performance in unfavorable weather conditions, and a simpler loading process in comparison to flint locks.

Method of use

To load a black powder firearm, begin by pouring black powder into the barrel or chamber, followed by inserting the wad and projectile. Next, fit the percussion cap onto the nipple to prepare the firearm for firing. Upon pulling the trigger, the hammer strikes the cap, producing ignition. The subsequent flame travels through the nipple into the chamber containing black powder, propelling the bullet or projectile from the barrel.

In accordance with the Weapons and Ammunition Act, replicas of black powder firearms produced before 1885 can be legally acquired in Poland without a permit. Purchasing accessories offered for black powder firearms, including caps, does not require any permit.

    They work perfectly, I can only recommend them to everyone, reliable, good brand. Order on Militaria was hassle-free and quickly fulfilled. I highly recommend.

    Very nice caps, they work without any problems. The price is also absolutely fine. I mainly based my decision on the brand and recommendation from Militaria. I highly recommend them to all gadget enthusiasts.

    Definitely better than RWS for revolvers, they fit better on the nipples and I fired about 400 shots with these caps and never had a misfire. Although, in my experience, already fired caps jam my Remington 1858 just as often as RWS, but that's more a flaw of the revolver than the caps, so I’m not deducting stars for that.

    Everything is fine. Satisfactory quality, promotional price, lightning-fast shipping. I've been using the same ones for Remington 44 for two years and haven't had a misfire yet.

    Once, when I had a Remington, I thought they were worse than RWS because they were looser and tended to fall off. Later, I understood that it's about choosing the right primers for specific nipples. It turned out that SB are better for Colt Navy, Derringers, and Pedersoli shotguns.

    S&B 4 mm caps are a good choice for people looking for cheap and high-quality percussion caps for percussion revolvers. However, they are not the best choice for all types of firearms.

    Reliable ignitions, precisely made—it's a pity they're not cheaper, but compared to others, they are worth the price for their quality, manufacturing accuracy, and great reliability at the range. Worth buying and enjoying shooting without misfires.

    I've fired 4 packs already with no misfires, I'm wondering if the caps are so good or if there's something wrong with me...

    Strong! In no way inferior to RWS, you can confidently buy and shoot ;))

    Perfect for Uberti Remington nipples. No jams, drop nicely, trouble-free. If you have Uberti, it's the best choice. Compared to RWS or Remington, S&B are the best.

    For me, the best and I only buy these due to the price-to-quality correlation (a very low percentage of misfires!). With KSK points, it's a dream. Highly recommend.

    The caps are proven, ignite every time. I recommend.
