Abstract:
An apparatus for removing spent primers from spent ammunition shell casings includes a body defining a feed channel, a pin plunger channel intersecting the feed channel at a punch zone configured to receive a shell casing therein, and a guide channel intersecting the pin plunger channel, a pin plunger movable along the pin plunger channel and defining a punch end, a guide member movable along the guide channel, and a handle assembly coupled to the pin plunger and the guide member such that rotary motion of the handle assembly drives the pin plunger along the pin plunger channel toward and into the punch zone so that, with a spent shell casing positioned in the punch zone, the punch end of the pin plunger extends into and drives the spent primer from the spent shell casing.
