There seems to be a severe shortage (none) out there. Anyone know where I can get a couple of tins?

Are you talking about the little square things that one would put on the railroad tracks to stop a train?

That's a railway torpedo. He's talking about the caps one would use in a cap and ball revolver or a percussion cap rifle.

Have you checked online, Midway comes to mind.
