Primer Deactivation

[John O.]

Until it blows up in someone's face. Then the police would finger print the contents and track it back to me. Then I would know what Johnny cash meant when he sang flossom prison. No thanks

Take it your LGS and let them deal wit it. Someone there will load and use it.

John O. I present you with my first ever YouTube production. Probably my last, too. I was wearing safety glasses.

I wanted to see for myself what happens when gas grilling a CCI 200 primer. I pre heated the grill to save wasted video time. I will let the video tell the rest of the story. There is a reason the boxes say..."keep out of the reach of children." No doubt the flying metal would cause moderate wounds or worse.

That is a good reminder to be careful.

I wouldn't think a guy that runs a thread 4 pages on how to get rid of 1 (one) primer would need a reminder to be careful.

Or, prime an empty case, insert into correct firearm, press muzzle of firearm into a wad of rags then pull trigger. No muffs needed.

Then I would have to clean my gun. I don't think it would be worth it for just one primer. Besides I found it by taking it out of a case that I picked up.

Now, I'm thinking cleaning your gun might have been easier and if I may ask; a case of what?

Buy them books and send them to school. :

I have a 25-06. I guess someone went to the range with it, dropped it, and failed to notice. I came along picked it up and found the potentially live primer when I removed it.

As for running the extra lengthy thread. I saw the good natured banter and couldn't help but dish it out to the same degree that I was receiving it. Thus feeding fuel to the fire. Besides the main reason I joined this forum as well as ammosmith.com was to have access to more people with the know how than what I have around here. It was a good accident that turned this into what it is.

I am sorry I don't understand this joke.

Well I agree with you on that, John O. It's been fun(ny).


Quote: Since you guys like to banter a lot I'll make a new thread on the main message board for that function. I ask that those who particapate will not sink to insults, crassness, or deragatory remarks to crack a joke.

I stayed away from your new thread because you put all them rules on it but I figured I could stay on this one cuz I was exempt from those rules on account of not having to sink to get to all them things you named off,............except for crassness, what exactly did you mean by that? By the internet dictionary that I looked at, I couldn't tell if I qualify on that one. It seemed kind of akin to the devil.

All in fun, brother!

Maybe if you send that primer to Obama, it will give him something to brag about if he'll forward it over to the good guys in the Middle East to help support their efforts to hold some of the territory and protect the people that many American and Allied lives were sacrificed for but then again............

Has the notorious primer been deactivated yet? I suggest grilling and killing, safely of course. 8)

 

[OIF/OEF]

First cut the blue wire....or is it the red wire.....Just call EOD...couple of sand bags and a blasting cap...see just that easy. Now think if you spilled a whole flat of them...100 PRIMERS ON THE FLOOR...don't step there

Not sure I tried the lighter fluid. Later I will try and see if I can cook it off. If nothing happens I will not keep it secret from you.

Name it

After all this................you tried the blasted lighter fluid that you were going to use to start with, before you started this thread?!!!

Git a rope!

 

[expiper]

OMG,,,,watch out ,,that lighter fluid could ignite and consume the world,,,Roger

 

[John O.]

No. I am also going to cook it off unless you guys would I do something else with it. Like modify the hammer test but instead, I'll shoot it out of my 4.5mm pellet rifle if it will fit.

I have one unknown primer that I want to deactivate so I can dispose of it. Will charcoal lighter fluid do the job? Or will I have to use something else? Thank you.

Somehow a primer got seated in reverse in one of my cases and I had to ask the same question, but I thought I'd go straight to the source, ie Federal. They told me a drop of acetone will do the job on contact.

Kindest regards,

Joe

Good to know.

 

[bobm]

Good to know my foot. Total BS with the acetone recommendation. I let a CCI 200 soak 8 hrs. in a shot glass of pure acetone. The liquid took on a yellow color from the paper wafer between the compound and anvil. After letting it air dry for 30 minutes it took a mere six seconds to detonate the same as in the video. These things die like zombies!

Death by grilling or hammer!!!!
