Review: Didn’t hold up - I was initially pleased with the snap caps. I just opened my shot gun and they flew out. They are intended to allow the gun to be in the fired position, saving strain in the firing pin springs. Apparently the plastic has degraded somehow.. Review: Does What it Should - Does what it says on the box. Only thing I can say about it so far is that I got this for a Mossberg 88 that is chambered for 2 3/4 and 3" shells, and this is shorter than either by a noticeable amount. It's not even a negative per-se, it chambers just fine, just something to be aware of if you are expecting a 1:1 representation of a shell that size. It comes in a 2 pack so I put the second one in the tube to cycle it and see what happens. I would not recommend doing so since the rim is plastic and gets a bit chewed up when you force it into the tube. It didn't break, but it clearly wears quickly if you do that. I'm pretty sure they aren't even designed for that, but curiosity got the best of me. Just drop it straight in the chamber, close the action, (point in a safe direction), and pull the trigger. Simple. ## Features - SPECS: 12 Gauge, 2 Pack - VERSATILITY: Tipton Snap Caps are useful in a variety of applications, from safely adjusting trigger pull to releasing tension on hammer springs for storage - DESIGN: With a false primer that is spring buffered, Tipton Snap Caps reduce stress on the firing pin and barrel breech when dry firing.

These jam up in my pup action 12 gage - so I use these instead: https://www.amazon.com/SPIKA-Hunting-Precision-Shotgun-Gague/dp/B07N646JML/ **Q: does this get jammed in the magazine tube?** A: Not only will they not jam, they won't stay in your magazine tube at all! They'll just come flying out when you try to chamber a shell. Seriously, they don't work at all. I have a Mossberg 500 **Q: Does it fit a maverick 88** A: I would think so, but I would not buy these snap caps. I have three or four and all have broke at the plastic lip on the base. No good. **Q: Is this for 4 snap cap shells total or 2 shells total? It looks like 2 come in each package, but there is a 2 count on one of the images.** A: 2 total ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Didn’t hold up *by W***Y on December 3, 2022* I was initially pleased with the snap caps.
