  • There's more than one way to skin a cat.
I'm looking for cast brass buttcaps for heavy dragoon pistol.
I've found two suppilers:

Muzzle loading builder supplies : $28.50
Fire lock pistols : $50

According to measurements listed on the sites, the are about the same size.
Judging from the pictures on the website they look alike.

Can anyone explain to me what the difference between them?
I'm not trying to bash any suppliers. Just trying to decide which to go for.

Do you know any other suppliers of this type of buttcap, except TRS or Blackley?

Best regards
Rolf
