small rifle primer conversion
« on: February 05, 2011, 05:53:18 AM »
As I posted, I have been searching for s conversion nipple that I had purchased back in 1979 which had a screw off cap with a firing pin in it, you placed the rifle primer in the nipple and screwed on the cap.  it not only gave maximum performance on the ignition, but made it waterproof also.  well EUREKA!.  for those interested I have found them again.  at warren custom outdoors...they call it MAG-SPARK,  it is stainless steel and cost $20.  they sell extra caps in case you lose one, for $10 and an adapter so it will fit the old H&R Huntsman for $15.  they make them to fit various thread sizes. 

this  is a great product!!!!

Just FYI, the Mag-Spark made by Ben Hubbard is not a Small Rifle Primer Conversion, it utilizes a 209 Shotshell Primer.

Quote
Manufactured by Hubbard's Outdoor Products, Mag-Spark is the most innovative improvement to muzzle loading since the rifled barrel. It fits your rifle in place of the percussion nipple and uses inexpensive, readily available SHOTSHELL PRIMERS for instant ignition of all powders and propellants. No more misfires, slowfires or dangerous hangfires. Works in any weather, with any propellant. Shotshell primers provide abundant fire to burn the propellant charge-completely. EVERY TIME!! This makes for consistent velocities, which makes for tighter groups (Also reduces flinching).

Another important feature of the shotshell primer is that it is made with a rim , or flange, making it impossible to be put in upside down or sideways. This is not true with rifle or pistol primers. If you have ever tried to use them, you already know this. Moreover, rifle and pistol primers stick when fired. Have you ever tried to get one out in time for another shot? Forget it!!. You CAN remove the shotshell primer from the MAG-SPARK, because of the rim feature.

Made of stainless steel, the MAG-SPARK features a hardened firing pin, and is intended to last for a lifetime of normal use. Nothing, not even an expensive in-line rifle can deliver the reliability of a MAG-SPARK equipped rifle. It is FULLY GUARANTEED, INEXPENSIVE, EASY TO INSTALL, LOOKS GOOD ~ AND IT WORKS.

You'd have to use a VariFlame adapter to use the SR primers.
