The product, in the report: Snap Cap for shotgun. Snap cap is blue plastic, marked Pachmayer CAL. 20 MADE IN ITALY I have photos available.
Hi- Last Fall, after cleaning my [REDACTED] 20 gauge shotgun with [REDACTED] Gun Cleaner and a bore snake, I inserted 2 plastic Pachmayr snap caps in the shotgun. Last week I removed the gun from its case for a hunt. Upon opening the action, there was no visible snap cap in the right barrel. Fortunately the snap cap in the left barrel was still visible although it too had begun to slide down the barrel. I was able to get both snap caps out of the barrels. The plastic rim on each had disintegrated over the past year, allowing both the caps to slide down the barrels, obstructing the bores.
The snap caps are blue and marked Pachmayr, CAL.20 MADE IN ITALY. These plastic snap caps are still being marketed. Based upon the disintegration of the plastic rims, a serious/deadly accident is indeed foreseeable. if you contact at Lyman, the company that markets this product, please alert them to this serious flaw in their product. I have photos of the snap caps.
