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. Review: Perfect for their DESIGNED purpose! - These snap caps are specifically designed, as stated in the manufacturer's specs to be used only in BREAK OPEN shotguns, typically for the purpose of safely dropping the hammers for storage or dry firing with them. They are NOT designed nor intended as dummy ammo for the purpose of cycling autoloaders or pump shotguns. This is what is printed in the desertcart description: (quote) DESIGN: With a false primer that is spring buffered, Tipton Snap Caps reduce stress on the firing pin and barrel breech when dry firing. For use with break open shotguns, not semi-autos or pumps. I am a certified Remington Armorer. Cycling repeaters do not require snap caps for dry cycling or dry firing. Factory personnel and armorers use conspicuously marked DUMMY ammo that can be hand loaded without powder (use Cream of Wheat or sawdust instead of the powder) and spent primers. Blacken the brass heads with Birchwood Casey brass black, and label the hulls on two sides DUMMY with a Sharpie. Or, buy five dummy shells. Do not be a dummy and fail to read the manufacturer's statement regarding their intended application. ## 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does What it Should *by N***H on April 19, 2021* Does what it says on the box.

I think the plastic around the base is to thick or to wide and the caps aren't a full 2 3\4 length. I had extreme difficulty feeding into the barrel and even got jammed in the feed tube and fed wrong causing it to jam in the feed ramp. I had to strip the gun to remove it. Tried again and it got stuck into the feed tube a half an inch or so, I had to pry it out with a screwdriver. Not sure how they work with different brands, but DON'T USE WITH THE IWI TS12 TAVOR. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tipton Shotgun Snap Caps with False Primer, Reusable Construction, in Various Calibers for Dry-Firing, Practice and Safe Firearm Storage - Tipton Pistol Snap Caps with False Primer and Reusable Design for Dry-Firing, Gun Maintenance, Gun Storage - Tipton Rifle Snap Caps with False Primer and Reusable Construction for Dry-Firing, Practice and Safe Firearm Storage, 2 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/8799189-shotgun-snap-caps-with-false-primer-reusable-construction-in-various](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/8799189-shotgun-snap-caps-with-false-primer-reusable-construction-in-various) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
