Where & how do you carry your primer horn?

Got it...and single-handed was the only other way I could imagine it...neat idea

I have a small, flat priming horn I carry in my bag.

I like the pick in the stopper :thumbsup: I always try to look for multi-use tools, was this done traditionally, or just a new thingy???

I don't know of any documentation for a priming horn let alone one with a pick in the stopper. My personal "rules" don't stop me from using it though! :wink: (YMMV)

Love the pick in the stopper idea. I think I'll be making a few of them to try out.

I like the way you think...my interest was to master and become a dedicated Flintlock hunter with both rifles and smoothbores, and I'm thoroughly satisfied doing it my way.
For example, I have all the provenance / documentation I need for Patent Breeches on my Early Virginia barrels...my credit card statement where I paid to have them built...LOL

i use a small elkhorn primer that hangs off my bag strap. the thether is just longenough that the primer can hang inside my bag when i'm not using it. bobtailedcoyote

settled lately on hanging it from its own straps just above the powder horn.

:hatsoff:

Stopped using a priming horn when I found out there was no documentation for one. Now I load and prim from my horn with FFFg.

I believe the "priming horn" is actually a 19th century "day horn", when hunters would go out for the day and not need a pound of powder.

So to carry one, or not, depends on ones own self. :wink:

I carry a small priming horn with the small brass spout on a thong around my neck. I use the same home made primer horn for all my flintlock guns.

When it is forgotten , very rare, I prime from the main horn.
