My last horn, last week, was a priming horn.
It was made of a very old little horn of a calf I found years ago in my father's barn. Some filing, polishing with sandpaper and a dremmel with felt buffer. I cut the tip and drill it to glue in a priming valve from track of the wolf.
The base plug is of wood with a little refilling hole and a wood stopper I carved from a wooden dowel.
No leak between the stopper and the hole in the plug even with FFFFG powder.
The priming valve works perfectly. It needs two push to fill the primiming pan of my pennsylvania rifle.
As I am left handed, the curve of the horn fit perfectly the curve of the barrel of my rifle when I prime the pan.
