24 ga. Snap Caps?

Bowman · Jan 20, 2019

I have an American Arms 24 gauge O/U that I've had for years (bought on Ebay back when they allowed firearms sales). Was wondering if anyone makes snap caps for such an animal. Thanks.

Never heard of 24 ga. Good luck with this.
Here's 28 gauge snap caps - close!

Make your own.
Use two fired shells.
Tap out primers.
Glue in suitable hard rubber insert trimmed to shape in primer hole.
Replace insert as needed.

A trimmed pencil eraser in the primer pocket.
Works as well as hard rubber and is easier to come by.

Was at a church men's club raffle years ago and my drunk buddy next to me won a Beretta 686 24 gauge and wanted to sell it for probably 1/3 it's value. Still kick myself for not snatching it for the sheer uniqueness. I'm thinking it's a European defunct lady's-gun bore. Could be imagining that.

When you're as ignorant as I am, it's easy to learn something every day.
