Abstract:
A dispenser for primers into a muzzleloading firearm, the dispenser comprising:a housing having an axially extending floor, wherein two side walls extend upwardly from the floor, the side wails extending toward each other, and defining an axially extending channel between the side walls and above the floor, the channel extending between a primer inlet and a primer outlet; a clip removably fastened to the housing adjacent the primer inlet, the clip having portions which extend inwardly into the channel to block the channel and prevent the escape of primers through the primer inlet; and a unitary spring fastened to the housing floor adjacent the primer outlet, the spring having a flexible spacer segment, an attachment segment, and a restraint segment, the restraint segment extending toward the primer outlet, and the spacer segment extending toward the primer inlet, wherein the spacer segment projects upwardly from the housing floor to a height to prevent the advancement of primers within the channel toward the primer outlet, and wherein the spacer segment is resiliently deflectable by movement of a primer onto the spacer segment to permit a primer to be advanced onto the restraint segment, the restraint segment extending upwardly from the housing floor, and being resiliently deflectable by movement of a primer onto and across the restraint segment, to thereby permit a primer to be dispensed from the primer outlet.
