A cap rake is a common modification made to open top percussion revolvers in an effort to prevent spent caps from jamming in the hammer recess. I tried to put a cap rake post in one of my 1851s but I did not drill the hole correctly. So I figured out a different way to make a cap rake out of a coin. The post-style cap rake is simple, but this is an option if the post does not work out. I am not a gunsmith; if I can do this, anyone can!
If you don't like to see a Dremel used on a gun, you should watch something else. If you don't like light classical music you can turn down the volume and not miss anything because there is no narration; but I let you know why I chose that piece as background music at the end of the video.
Here's hoping you find it worth your time. Thanks for giving it a chance.
