New to bp revolvers here. I picked up 2 ruger oa's last week, one is a shooter, the other is a parts gun that had a 1/4” hole drilled trough the frame and barrel on the left side. The hole has been repaired with 2 threaded plugs, the first plug matches the rifling land and the second holds the first in place. I do not plan on shooting that one.
I got the shooter up and running but I find my fumble fingers have a hard time putting the caps on the nipples, so I drilled a hole in the end of wooden dowel to hold the cap, which works ok. Still, I do my shooting during the winter and a capper would be great to have with frozen fingers. I am looking at the cabelas in line capper but understand that some revolvers are fussy about which cappers work. Anyone have experience with the cabelas capper and the roa? thanks
