Large percussion cap source?

[Selair_Chapman]

Hi y'all. First post here. I'm trying to track down a Canadian retailer for top hat percussion caps to fit my Enfield Pattern 1853. The diameter of the original nipple is .22 inch. Way bigger than the no 10 and no 11 caps you can buy around here. I'm on Vancouver Island. Can we order these online if needs be?
Many thanks in advance.

You're looking for musket caps, cci makes them and a quick search under that title would find ones for you in BC.

Gun mart in brockville, ontario has them and if you look them up they might be able to help you out.

Track of the Wolf has a conversion nipple to allow use of CCI # 11 caps.

Hill Folk (not sure on spelling) out of Sask , are great people to deal with. What part of the Country are you in? I think they will be at the Hanna, AB show this weekend.

Thanks guys. As per Black Powder Burner I was able to correctly search for "musket caps". Had always searched for "percussion caps". Found Rusty Wood Trading Co. Out of Mission BC which ships nationally. CCI musket caps are on the way!

Canadian Tire carries them.
