It's a bit of air pipe between 1-2 inch long with just 2 caps, one in each end (closed end in the pipe) push cap on to nipple and pinch the pipe behind the cap to insure it pops out then just make sure it's seated (you have a dozen or so ready in a box) it costs a £1 or so for a few feet of this air pipe
If you watch the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC5mwOJ2Khg towards the end you see the maker of the vid use the pipes to recap

...at this point I'd like to point out that I'm very grateful for all the advice, I just haven't been able to put any of it into practice as I'm still waiting for my variation
...anyone care to comment on whether I should start with Pyrodex (cheaper) or Triple Seven (expensive, sensitive to compression, but easier to clean)? (Black powder not an option, as I decided not to apply for an explosives license to begin with)
Pyrodex P is for pistols - uses 90% by WEIGHT of an equivalent BP charge.. Triple 7 is also good, and uses 85% by WEIGHT of an equivalent BP charge. Both clean up with water, and notwithstanding what folks say, they BOTH need a quick clean-up, post shooting.
Pyrodex P is energetic, but Triple 7, by comparison, is just plain frantic. Smells odd, too, a bit like sugar beets - not surprising, since it is a sugar-based propellant.
Your choice - I use both Pyrodex Select and Triple 7 in my two revolvers, but there really is nothing like the holy black.
