ABSTRACT:
A primer and tool holder is configured for mounting on an artillery piece a coupling which projects at a downward angle from the holder and is received in a trunnion mount tunnel on the artillery piece. The coupling has a wedge lock which is received in the tunnel and is secured by a wedge lock expanded by advancing a cam. An primer carrier or tray having a plurality of holes therein stores individual primers in the holes with the ends of the primers being readily accessible to the artilleryman. The base has a plurality of storage tubes fixed thereto for receiving tools such as a spit-hole brush, a vent hole reamer, a primer chamber brush and a spit-hole drill. The base also has a cam latch proximate the lower end thereof for fastening the lower end of the primer and tool holder to a drain hole. An alternate embodiment includes straight walled through holes drilled at a 10.degree.-15.degree. angle above horizontal to retain the primers. The article carrier may be articulated to pivot between 1) a stowed position substantially parallel to base and 2) an operational position substantially perpendicular to base. A locking mechanism may lock the tray in the stowed and operational positions and is connected to the holder by a tether. A cover is provided for covering the primer and tool holder when not in use to protect the primers and tools from the elements.
