    Can't help you at all, but I've got one too. What caps do you use? I can't seem to find any that won't fall off the nipples.

    Try pinching the cap skirt a tiny bit to tighten the fit.
    Personally prefer RWS brand caps when I can get them.
    Otherwise I like the DGW label,but they are corrosive.
    Main reason I like those brands is they use heavier gauge metal to form the cap,less shrapnel and failed caps during ignition.

    The revolvers use a different size cap then rifles. There are #10 and #11 size caps but I don’t remember which one is the correct size.

    # 10 is for a pistol and # 11 is for a rifle.

    I highly recommend Lee's Gunsmithing. They have been doing SASS guns since the very beginning and have done several for me over the years. http://www.cowboyshooters.com/
