C/22 should I be worried?

[me6_130]

Gentlemen, I need your assistance. I was cleaning up a bit and decided to dismount some 7,5cm Kwk 40 cases I got recently. The primers of 2 of them (middle and right) are compared to one a bought loose (left), should I be worried as they seem to be untouched?

Just keep them away from fire and there will be not much to worry about.

I hate this situation because I have little children at home. When someone sells something stating it is 'free of dangerous or explosive substance' it should be! How can I remove this stuff safely?

Hi Carles,

if you really have to remove this "stuff" put them in a glass
with acetone for a few hours and this will dissolve the explosive.

Did you buy these from Egun.de auction site?

[me6_130]

No, I believe not . One I bought via Egun didn't have the primer.

Under the white and red cardboard/cloth/metal disc is a rather big blackpowder charge, this is what you want to remove! just cut out that disc like on the other one, wash it out with water and give it an oil bath fro a day to destroy any remains of the electric primer head! Acetone will do nothing to these, once evaporated it´s the same explosive....!

Hello Dogtagman,

Thanks for the tip.
