Great thread with some really neat stuff. Stuff rules.
For years everytime I stepped out into the woods the only modern thing I ever tolerated ( besides powdered creamer for morning coffee which is more important to me than my party affiliation) was this little stupid primer with the brass spring valve.

The guy on the top is the original I bought from Dixie and scrimshawed in a feeble attempt to make it look better.
The guy on the bottom is what I did by ripping the valve setup off one from Dixons. After drilling out the antler I poxied the top section of one of those wooden shot pouch nozzles you can buy. I put the valve on the plug so it could be removed for easy filling with 4f or even 3f.
That valve has never failed to dump the right amount of priming everytime.
Being somewhere in between a Stitch Nazi and an..."If they'd a haddit, they'd a used it"...Nerd I never thought twice about using it.
