looking for source: Winchester primers

[TonyDedo]

Looking to buy Winchester large pistol primers as close to Boston/metrowest as possible. Depending on price, could be anywhere from 2k-20k. Anyone have a source for me (please PM online sources)?

If anyone is interested in doing a group/mail order buy, PM me with your details.

I have been going to Northeast Trading, but as much as I love Ted, I just don't have time for the drive down there.

Too bad; I was about to suggest him. I got a case of primers there Friday.

You could always go talk to Carl at Four Seasons. I think if you were going to buy as many as 20K primers, he would be accommodating for you.

Not to derail the thread.. but in MA WITH a special permit from the local FD you can only store up to 5000 primers MAX... without a permit it's only 1000. Am I missing something?

 

[Adam_MA]

Storage amounts with permit.

(a) Small Arms Ammunition: Private Use. Small arms ammunition in amounts over that specified in 527 CMR 13.04(1), that do not exceed 100,000 total rounds at any one time, may be kept for private use provided none of the individual limitations listed below are exceeded.
1. 10,001 to 30,000 rounds of rim fire ammunition.
2. 10,001 to 50,000 rounds of center fire ammunition not to include shotgun ammunition.
3. 10,001 to 50,000 rounds of shotgun ammunition not to include center fire ammunition.
...
(c) Small Arms Ammunition Primers: Private Use
Not to exceed 10,000 Small Arms Ammunition Primers.
...
(e) Smokeless Propellants: Private Use
1. Not to exceed 48 pounds Smokeless Propellants.
2. Persons under 18 years of age may not keep or store Smokeless Propellants.
3. The head of the local fire department may limit the quantity of smokeless propellants stored by permit to as low as two pounds if such propellant shall be stored in a multiple family dwelling or a building of public access.
...

Also, empty primed cases do NOT count against this amount.

Adam,

I can't recall all the specific details but my local FD would NOT issue up to 10,000. It's misrepresented the way it's written IMO. It's up to 5000 for a "dwelling" but you CAN have up to 10,000 for "private use" but I was told it would require me to jump thru hopes to get approved for that much- posting my request in a local paper, getting my storage up to snuff/inspected... blah, blah, blah.

Here is the part for a resident:

(3) Small Arms Ammunition Primers.

(b) Transportation of small arms ammunition primers shall comply with U.S. Department of Transportation Regulations.
(c) No more than 5,000 small arms ammunition primers shall be transported in a private vehicle.
(d) No more than 5,000 small arms primers shall be stored in residences.

Hmmmm

Well, I'm more of the mindset that the state, and local government of this socialist state can kiss my white ass either way!

Is this with or without a permit?

Uh-oh, is that bricks or individual primers?

That is WITH a permit. 1000 without. Just telling you the facts as they are....

 

[Len-2A Training]

. . . But once you prime a case, it is no longer a primer and doesn't count towards your limit!

This is true.. but for those of us that use a progressive press.... it's a PITA to do this separately.

 

[Len-2A Training]

Yes, but if you have a single stage, non-progressive or just a separate priming device, you can knock off 5K in short order and still be compliant with the laws/regs.
