Been shooting my colts mostly the last few trips to the range and ive had a REALLY bad time with them and cap fragments. The #10 Remgintons are what i mostly use and they seem to be designed to split or its the design of the cap why they fit so well?
The best luck ive had so far with minimul fragments is with Mikes mod where you fill in the little slot on the hammer with JB weld and that helped ALOT with the cap fragments.
Ive seen one other idea where you put a little pin on the frame and the pin falls in the slot on the hammer.
When i shoot the colts i normaly stop after every shot and clear the cap so i dont have it fall and stop the hammer. Mikes mod got me confident and i stopped clearing it after every shot and i got some down in the action where it jammed up the bolt.
What other ideas are there to keep fragments out? any way to fill in that little hole on the hammer so the caps dont fall down into the action?
