Small Pistol Primers available

[AlHunt]

As I type this, at 6:15PM Eastern, 10/19/20, a website called Fedarm has "Fort Smith" brand small pistol primers available for about $170/5000 delivered.

I know nothing about the company, primer brand or anything else. You're completely on your own should you decide to take the plunge. I'm going to hold out.

Backorder only

Backorder only

Not surprising. I had them in my cart at 6:15.

Discovered this site from a Facebook post and placed my order. The backorder status didn't dissuade me as I have plenty of SPP, but don't know where/when my replacements will come. I have time to wait. Hate that they charge double shipping if you want 2 cases. Wasn't worth it to me, so just ordered the one.

I'm in for 5K (one case)

So backorder could be filled Friday, could be filled December 1st.... can't say I've ever heard of Fedarm...

What the heck right? Ill bite ! Also sent them an email as to when these are expected to be filled...

I did a little research on Ft. Smith primers. They are made in Russia, and seem to work OK. No info beyond that.

I ordered 5000. On back order, but they charged my card immediately

Looks like stroker468 answered my question. For those that have placed an order was your card charged? I wouldn't mind placing an order and have it show up a couple of months later but don't like my card being charged, especially from someone I've never heard of.

I dropped out at any Russian involvement.

And im showing a pending bank charge

Be sure of what you are getting. I read another thread in this forum saying Fort Smith primers are Berdan type which do not have the built in anvils that enable firing in most American cases.
They are Russian primers made for cases with built in anvils.

Buy at your own risk

Says boxer primers

 

[buckshotshorty]

Yep just checked it does say Boxer primed

Fort Smith sounds like a good Russian name.

Why are some ' lead free' and some say nothing ? Which did you get?

 

[markr6754]

Interesting that they had to relabel them for a US market.

Here's a link to the company's Russian website. They make every breed of primer known to man. Partners with TulAmmo and Barnaul.

I took the plunge. I'm down to 2,000 SPP. I want to keep shooting. Thanks for posting the info. What could possibly go wrong?

I ordered from Fedarm prior to the great panic of 2020. Their small pistol primers work great so far in my guns. They are Russian primers manufactured by Murom.
This is the label on one of my boxes.
