ABSTRACT:
An improved ignition means for a muzzle loading weapon which is adapted to fire a projectile, and comprises a barrel, an ignition means adapted to receive a primer charge comprising a cylindrical casing having an explosive charge within, and an annular flange at one end which extends outwardly radially from the casing, and a hammer adapted to ignite the primer charge. The improved ignition means comprises a primer receiver having a well with a distal portion and a proximal portion. The distal portion communicates with a powder charge receiving portion of the barrel, and the proximal portion has an open end. The proximal portion of the well has a first diameter, and the distal portion of the well has a smaller second diameter. The second diameter is less than a predetermined diameter of a primer cylindrical casing and is spaced from the open end a distance less than a predetermined length of a primer, so that when a primer charge is inserted into the well through its open end, the primer charge casing frictionally engages the smaller diameter of the proximal portion to hold the primer charge within the well with its annular flange outside of the well and spaced from the opening. Additionally, a tool is provided for grasping a primer to insert it into the well and for prying a recalcitrant primer out of the well.
