Friction primers

[Double D]

George,

Can you update this?

The missing half of the web page went into making them from modern materials, in particular using the brass tubing available in hobby stores instead of rolling your own.  But you are right, you can buy them already made.  It's really a question of whether you have more time than money. (-:

But one could say that about making your own barrels and carriages, too.  To each his own.

OK, my web server is back online.  You can see the whole (well, almost the whole) of the original <a href="http://www.stolenguns.com:443/larc/html/friction%20primers.htm" target="_blank">Friction Primers[/url] web page now.

I might have that on one of my computers.  Let me look.

Is this what you remember?  What thread is that old link in?

See this image for a view of a friction primer.

George,

That helps...Pictures in this process would be use full.  I am probably going to make friction primers for my BB Mortar.

to find the original post just click on Quote from: GGaskill on January 31, 2006, 05:27:27 PM in my post above.

Looking at the html for that page, I find only one image reference and that was for the modified set of pliers.

Do these pictures still exist?

I could not find it on this computer; however, I will look on the one that was the web server to see if it is there.  Cross your fingers.

The Gibbon reference in the old thread has pictures of the primers but it is a pdf and I cannot extract the images from it.
