mudpatten Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Does anyone have three or four primed pinfire cases in 12 bore that they`d be willing to part with? They used to be available from Henry Krank until comparatively recently but apparently they can no longer obtain them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave at kelton Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 It does depend on the action, breach and pin hole location. I have a mint Wesley Richards and as the action face has a small extension I found that some cases did not fit but now have some that do. On a related point they can be made up and I have hundreds of preformed all in one plastic 12 bore cases that I am happy to move on if anyone wishes to experiment. I haven’t done it but there must be some out there who have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feltwad Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 There is a company in France that made the brass pinfire cartridge case that could be re -used but they are expensive . Try Google Feltwad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Apprently, yes, as another has said they are not too difficult to adapt modern cases to. A Boxer primer and glue being involved in the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
