Show Your Priming Tools

[Hanshi]

Listen up!  What do you prime with: main horn, brass thingy, special primer?  Show what you got and use.  Here are my four and they only work with 4F which I only have a little of.

[Hanshi]

Come on, somebody let me see what you prime with and all the priming tools you've collected over the years.  I've shown mine 
now let me see, Ahem, yours.

dont have any photos of what I use , nor a way to take any !  but I prime with my powder horn , since I quit using 4F a long time ago !

I don't have to prime, my stern look at the vent hole is usually enough to light off the powder.

Alright!  I'm telling mom on you!

Who do you think taught me how to do it? She could start fires with her nasty and mean old eyes!

Nice, I have 2 for the 4f but sometimes just trickle some 3f from horn...Got out 2 flinters this week, but forgot primers.  Must find them somewhere.  My move and hurts have really led to things being misplaced//

OKAY THEN!  I'm forwarding your comment to mom RIGHT NOW!
                    Might as well get out a new bar of soap; time for you to reaquaint yourself with that once familiar taste.

The "push" type primers work best for me; but the little "legbone" dribble primer works fairly well too.  I also like 3F for prime but all mine are 4F sized.  Priming with the main horn would be a disaster for me.  The ra damage and the tremors that prevent any successful "fine movement/work" would have me spilling powder all over.  I don't precisely need a plunger type but any primer I use has to have a small opening.

I'll throw a picture or two of my two primers when I get enough time to go through posting a picture. However, on another tangent, I wonder if flash powder would make a good primer? 

That was a joke folks, do not even think of trying it!!!!!

[Hanshi]

Flash powder?  NAH...!  Try blue tip matches.

This is all i have at the moment. One factory push type and one that hasn't been made yet...

Don't worry over it; my favorites are the ones that haven't been made yet. 

This has perked up nicely: PERKED not PUKED, alright?
Still room for more, though!
