The Traditions ASG20 Snap Caps provide essential dry fire training and safe handling practice for 20-gauge shotgun owners. These precision-manufactured training rounds eliminate the risk of firing pin damage during practice sessions while maintaining realistic weight and feel of live ammunition.
What Makes This Different
Unlike cheaper alternatives that crack after minimal use, these snap caps feature reinforced plastic construction with brass-plated metal bases that withstand thousands of dry fire cycles. The spring-loaded primer cushions firing pin impact, extending the life of both the snap cap and the firearm's action. Each round maintains proper headspace and chamber fit for accurate training simulation.
