Mag-Spark?

Has anybody tried or uses a thing called `Mag-Spark'? And will work on a 1847 Colt Walker? Or a 1858 Remington? It looks like its for rifles only. Thanks!
 
I believe that the Mag-Spark is only for single shot guns that will accommodate its size which conventional C&B revolvers will not allow for.

Replacment for a standard nipple. It uses a 209 shotgun primer encased in a screw on cover to "waterproof" the whole shebang. There's a built in striker to fire the primer.

This thing has been around for many years but used a different style of Cap in the past. (Large modern Rifle Primmer) now its a 209 shotgun primmer. It's application. To be mounted in/on a traditional cap lock style of rifle or shotguns nipple snail. Somehow, someway, someone, has Resurrected this antiquated gun part again. It was a problematic part in its past history. Its hard enough for this old timer just getting a cap onto a nipple these days let alone fooling around with this thing when my hands are cold or early morning before daylight.

Good Morning Hawg. You know. I think you should get one of these Hawg. You'd look good a-sport'in one on your rifle. Never have to worry about another wet cap ever._:D

I don't even see the point in it. Percussion caps have been working fine since 1830 or thereabouts.

Mornin McGee, I don't worry about it now.:p
 
I don't worry about it now. Me either.~~Hmm?
Hawg. Not twenty feet from the window 3 nice free grazers standing in the yard here now. Yep that figures. Guns unloaded, in the closet, and here's a nice size one look'in right at me. Oh well._:)
 
Had one on an older Thompson for a couple of years, and it never failed to fire. It worked really well, right up until I dropped the cap, 20 ft to the ground. It bounced a couple of times, and I spent the best part of an hour looking for it, to no avail.

The cap wound up costing me over $450.00, because when I took it in to get another one, the shop had a brand new Encore for sale, and even though my mind said NO NO NO my heart just had to have it.:(
