Product Description
A-Zoom Metal Snap Caps are an indispensable tool for responsible firearm owners across New Zealand, offering a definitive solution for safe dry-fire practice, comprehensive function testing, and essential preservation of internal firearm components. As an industry benchmark from Lyman Products, these precision-engineered dummy rounds are meticulously CNC-machined from solid aluminium, adhering to exact SAAMI cartridge dimensions. This ensures they load, feed, extract, and eject with the same reliable performance as live ammunition, completely eliminating any risk of accidental discharge. They are crucial for shooters aiming to practise loading drills, refine trigger control, and conduct routine firearm checks with absolute safety, whether preparing for a hunting trip, a sporting event, or simply maintaining their gear.
Significantly more durable than common plastic alternatives that can crack or leave residue, A-Zoom snap caps feature a robust hardcoat anodised finish in a distinctive dark maroon. This unique colour provides instant visual identification as a practice round, significantly enhancing safety during handling and training. Their innovative "Dead Cap" primer is a resilient polyurethane insert specifically engineered to absorb the repeated impact of the firing pin. This effectively cushions the pin, safeguarding your firearm's delicate internal mechanisms from the wear and potential damage caused by dry firing on an empty chamber, thereby substantially extending the lifespan of your firing mechanism and promoting overall gun care. To maximise their lifespan, keep your A-Zoom snap caps clean and free from debris.
Key Features
Solid Aluminium Construction: Precision CNC machined to exact tolerances, guaranteeing flawless feeding and chambering, unlike the common issues found with less durable plastic dummy rounds.
"Dead Cap" Primer Insert: This specialised polyurethane primer is engineered to withstand over 3,000 dry fires, offering unparalleled protection for your firing pin and striker assembly during dry firing and training.
Hardcoat Anodised Finish: The unique maroon colour provides instant visual identification as a practice round, significantly enhancing safety. The hard anodising also prevents flaking and ensures exceptionally smooth cycling.
Training Drills: Ideal for integrating into magazines during range sessions to simulate random malfunctions, enabling shooters to practise clearing drills and enhance overall firearm handling skills.
Safe Storage: Facilitates the safe release of hammer or striker tension before storing a firearm, which is crucial for preserving spring life and maintaining optimal performance and safe storage.
