Homemade flask

[Egonz67]

Has anyone ever made their own flintlock pan primer and/or powder flask?
Let’s see them

Here are a few of the pan primers, and one day flask that I have made.

This is what I use and made out of a sterling silver knife handle. I removed the blade and soldered the spout in place with the springs removed.

Antler tine and a small hose fitting.

Mine's similar toAndy's.

Although it's not very big, and it's very handy, I suppose it would fall under "flask".....

I made it this past Fall, with a push valve dispenser spout...…..

Have had this for years, and it is one of my favorite ML loading accessories. I took a purchased brass tube primer and a small propane gas flame flare fixture and combined them. I then soldered a piece of brass in the flame opening, which is now the flask bottom. I also opened up the dispenser snout so if would flow quicker

This one fits nicely in my hand, and I don’t have big hands.

Pretty! And darn slick! Great idea for recycling.

I love the primer flasks made from knife handles!

Where would I find the primer mechanism?

Where would I find the primer mechanism?

Track of the Wolf is one outlet for what I started with. The front valve (only) is also available at Track
Flint priming flask, throws about 4 grains, brass - Track of the Wolf

Where would I find the primer mechanism?

TOTW has the plunger valves, in three different sizes: Priming Horns, Flasks, & Valves - Track of the Wolf

Thank you. I missed those when I ordered a couple other things two hours ago. I'll call them to see if I can add one to the order.

 

[pilot]

That was easy, just called and added one of the priming valves to my order.

The free flow valve flask will dispense 3fg and 4fg powder. The others will probably only dispense 4fg and finer powder.
