Abstract

An ignition adapter apparatus for use in rapidly charging a muzzleloader while preventing gas leakage. The ignition adapter apparatus preferably defines a primer carrier device shaped such that the outer surface thereof conforms to a standard ammunition cartridge. The ignition adapter apparatus further includes breech plug adapted to fit into the breech end of a muzzle loader. The primer carrier is preferably constructed of a metal that is softer than the breech plug. When the primer carrier device is pressed into the breech plug, the primer carrier deforms such that a seal is formed between the primer carrier device and the breech plug. Using such ignition adapter apparatus in a muzzleloader reduces or eliminates no blow-by resulting in a more powerful shot and a cleaner firing mechanism. The primer carrier device may be magazine fed for rapid re-priming.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A primer carrier device for use in a muzzleloader comprising a primer carrier and a primer press fit thereto, wherein but for a flash port formed in said primer carrier, the outer surface of said primer carrier device is substantially geometrically identical to a commercial ammunition cartridge. 
     
     
         2 . The primer carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein said commercial ammunition cartridge defines a .223 Remington ammunition cartridge. 
     
     
         3 . The primer carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein said primer carrier device is mounted into a breech plug such that a seal is created by an external surface of said primer carrier device coming into deformation contact with said breech plug. 
     
     
         4 . The primer carrier device of  claim 3 , wherein said primer carrier is formed of a material that is softer than the material of which said breech plug is formed. 
     
     
         5 . The primer carrier device of  claim 3 , wherein when said primer is deployed, blow-by is substantially eliminated. 
     
     
         6 . The primer carrier device of  claim 1 , wherein said primer carrier device is magazine fed into a muzzleloader. 
     
     
         7 . The primer carrier device of  claim 3 , wherein a running sliding fit exists between said primer carrier device and said breech plug, and wherein said running sliding fit forms a secondary seal. 
     
     
         8 . An ignition adaptor apparatus for use in a muzzleloader comprising a primer carrier having a primer press fit thereto and mounted into a breech plug such that a seal is created by an external surface of said primer carrier coming into deformation contact with said breech plug. 
     
     
         9 . The ignition adaptor apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein but for a flash port formed in said primer carrier, the outer surface of said primer carrier is substantially geometrically identical to a commercial ammunition cartridge. 
     
     
         10 . The ignition adaptor apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said commercial ammunition cartridge defines a .223 Remington ammunition cartridge. 
     
     
         11 . The ignition adaptor apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said primer carrier is formed of a material that is softer than the material of which said breech plug is formed. 
     
     
         12 . The ignition adaptor apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein when said primer is deployed, blow-by is substantially eliminated. 
     
     
         13 . The ignition adaptor apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said primer carrier is magazine fed into a muzzleloader. 
     
     
         14 . The ignition adaptor apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein a running sliding fit exists between said primer carrier and said breech plug, and wherein said running sliding fit forms a secondary seal. 
     
     
         15 . A primer carrier device for use in a muzzleloader comprising a primer carrier and a primer press fit thereto, wherein said primer carrier is magazine fed into a muzzleloader. 
     
     
         16 . The primer carrier device of  claim 15 , wherein but for a flash port formed in said primer carrier, the outer surface of said primer carrier device is substantially geometrically identical to a .223 Remington ammunition cartridge. 
     
     
         17 . The primer carrier device of  claim 15 , wherein said magazine feeding further defines mounting said primer carrier device into a breech plug such that a seal is created by an external surface of said primer carrier coming into deformation contact with surface of said breech plug. 
     
     
         18 . The primer carrier device of  claim 17 , wherein said primer carrier is formed of a material that is softer than the material of which said breech plug is formed. 
     
     
         19 . The primer carrier device of  claim 15 , wherein when said primer is deployed, blow-by is substantially eliminated. 
     
     
         20 . The primer carrier device of  claim 17 , wherein a running sliding fit exists between said primer carrier device and said breech plug, and wherein said running sliding fit forms a secondary seal.
