- Sold as a 2-pack, which may be limiting if you need multiple snap caps for rotation or several firearms.
- The wool chamber mop is intended to be treated with gun oil for storage use, so it adds a maintenance step rather than being a no-care accessory.
- This is a dry-fire and storage aid, not a substitute for live ammunition or a full chamber-cleaning routine.
