Traditions ASC223 Snap Caps .223 Rem, Plastic with Brass Base, 2-Pack

Snap caps are essential safety tools for dry-fire practice, function testing, and firearm maintenance—and the Traditions ASC223 Snap Caps in .223 Rem are built to handle the job reliably. This 2-pack gives you durable dummy rounds with a plastic body and brass base that's designed to cycle through your rifle's magazine and chamber just like live ammunition, without the risk of firing. Whether you're working on trigger control at home, checking feeding and extraction, or simply storing your rifle safely, snap caps protect your firearm's firing pin and bolt from the wear that comes with dry-firing on an empty chamber.

The .223 Rem caliber makes these snap caps ideal for AR-15 platforms, bolt-action hunting rifles, and other modern sporting rifles chambered in this popular round. The brass base provides the weight and durability needed for realistic cycling, while the plastic construction is clearly inert and safe to handle. With two snap caps per pack, you'll have enough for reliable practice runs or to keep a spare set on hand.

Snap caps aren't ammunition—they're precision training and maintenance tools that every serious shooter should have in their range bag or gun safe. Use them to dry-fire safely, to diagnose feeding or extraction problems, or to practice loading and unloading without risk to your rifle's internals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are snap caps used for?

Snap caps are inert dummy rounds designed for dry-fire practice, function testing, and firearm maintenance. They cycle through your rifle like real ammunition but contain no powder or primer, making them safe for home practice and for protecting your firing pin during repeated dry-firing.

Will these snap caps work in an AR-15?

Yes. The Traditions ASC223 snap caps are chambered in .223 Rem, which is the standard caliber for AR-15 rifles and other modern sporting rifles. The brass base and plastic body are designed to cycle through your magazine and chamber reliably.

What's included in this 2-pack?

You receive two snap caps per pack. This gives you enough for practice drills and allows you to keep a backup set ready.

Are snap caps safe to store with live ammunition?

Yes. Snap caps are completely inert—they contain no primer, powder, or projectile. They are safe to store anywhere, but it's good practice to keep them clearly separated from live ammunition to avoid any confusion during loading.
