Red Ryder Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Fellas! I got a live primer jammed about 2 inches down inside of the primer pick up tube. I removed the yellow pick up nipple and I can visibly see it. Any suggestions on how to safely remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't respond well to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions on how to safely remove it? push it out with the plastic thing from your low primer warning buzzer. it takes a little more force than pushing it out of a hollow tube to make it go off.

markcic Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 According to Dillon hose down the magazine with WD-40 then call Dillon for a free replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiDirkona Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Soak oil in it first, then throw it in the trash. Oil will safely deactivate the primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ryder Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks Guys! Markcic-the link was awesome. I will through it away and call Dillon for a replacement. But I feel a little guilty for not paying. In my experiences, NO ONE ELSE in the USA has such a fine replacement policy and treats its customers SO well.

It really isn't like a stick of dynamite. They were way more fun than smacking a roll of caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisonresq Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 +1 on smackin em with a hammer! Too fun... I'm generally not too scared of just one - a whole stack makes me pucker a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punxsutawn Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 "+1 on smackin em with a hammer! Too fun..." WOW, and I thought I was the only one who did that! lol I used to place a primer between two plates of steel and drop a baseball bat on it to set it off! Hope my kids aren't reading this!!

Carmoney Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Soak oil in it first, then throw it in the trash. Oil will safely deactivate the primer. That's a myth. Oil may deactive the primer for awhile, but eventually the oil will dry and the primer will remain live. I researched this topic fairly extensively while defending a lawsuit involving smokeless powder that ignited after being stirred into water and dumped in an outdoor compost pile for months. Bottom line, you can't reliably kill primers and powder without actually igniting/burning them. Pushing one stuck primer out of a tube isn't any big deal as long as you're careful not to point either end at your face. Multiple stuck primers is another matter.

EkuJustice Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Pushed one out before myself. Was it safe, nope but was planning on reloading and the tube jammed so it was that or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
