Where can I get snap caps for 8X57JRS?
Does anyone know a source for snap caps for 8X57JRS and or 16 Ga shot gun?

I have two firearms that are chambered for 16 Ga in the shot barrel/barrels, and 8X57JRS in one and 8X57JR in the other one. The snap cap for the 8X57JRS (.323 bullet) will also work in the 8X57JR (.318 bullet)as long as the snap cap doesn't extend into the throat of the chamber.

I am willing to order the rifle snap caps if not available in the USA. So if anyone has a source or the snap caps they are willing to sell please respond!

Thanks guys! That was a big help! Quick help is what the folks at AR are famous for!

16 Ga, and 8X57JRS snap caps are not common in this part of Texas!

Did you find them ?

If not PM me and I can mail some of each from Germany next week. Easy to get there. Common calibers.

Cheers.
