I have a 1863 Sharps and I can't find a source for the Flanged Percussion Caps without buying a large amount. I would like to buy about 100 to start with. I don't plan to shoot my Carbine very much, but would like to try it out. Could I get some suggestions on a source? Thanks

I'm sure if someone read your post AND saw you lived close to them you'd most likely get a offer to help you out.
So many spammers these days one would glance over your empty posting and click back........a lil info goes a long way to getting help.

If you mail order your caps you will have to pay a "Hazmat Fee", no matter what quantity, you order, so if you go that route, you might as well but at least $100-$200 worth. $100 or so, will probably get you 4 tins, or as we say, a sleeve.
If you enjoy shooting muskets, I'm sure you will use them. Have Fun.

Thank you for the suggestions and your willingness to help. As for the one response - less said is better.

I Don't know if they sell the flanged one's or not. But If you live close to a Gander Mountain or a Cabela's try there.
