About this model

Some family members and friends occasionally ask me to take them target shooting. I like to go over the functioning of the guns in a relaxed atmosphere, at home, where they don't feel overwhelmed. I wanted to use snap caps to allow them to get used to loading, cycling, un-jamming, and dry firing the guns. Commercially available snap caps can cost between $1 - 4 each depending on where you buy them and what material they are made of. So, I asked if any of my local Facebook friends reload, and would they punch out the old primer and resize some brass for me. No problem, someone stepped up. I printed some plastic bullets at a cost of about 3 cents each. Pressed (hammer tapped) them in and now I have some cheap, well fitting snap caps to practice with.
