Oly Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I know that there is a shortage of primers in the UK at present, but does anyone know where I can find any large rifle primers in the N.West, N. Wales or W. Mids areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Fister, I hope you didn't keep them talking too long at SYSS, I need Dave to stay tied to his lathe until my rifle's finished...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Nice one fellas , any other anywhere though? (Not sure if I'm likely to be passing by either of them sometime soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Oly, it would help if you filled in your profile so people know where you are, you may get more accurate replies that way..... Its not that re-barreled 308 ruger i dropped is it? No mate, mines a heavy barrelled Rem700 in .243 he's 'tinkering' with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 As all the best rappers say... "Word on the street is brothers" Federal have just been awarded a huuuge military contract in the US and therefore will not be supplying any primers for civilian use for the foreseeable future :( And as Browning says Oly, fill in yer profile, you have been here long enough to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oly Posted August 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Federal have just been awarded a huuuge military contract in the US and therefore will not be supplying any primers for civilian use for the foreseeable future Yep, heard that one myself a couple of weeks ago, there seem to be several stories flying around at the moment, when I heard that one they were saying that Federal have an order for 8 Billion .223, hence production will nearly stop for those , but should retain a reasonable amount of movement for other rifle calibers, inparticular large rifle calibers.
