12 gauge emptie catrages what to do??


Recommended Posts


MAKING THE WHISTLE

 

  • Take two used brass 12 bore cartridge (brass depth approx.12mm and 7mm)
  • With protective gloves hold the plastic and heat the brass end of the cartridge in the flame until the plastic can be pulled from the base (takes a little practice)
  • Knock out the spent primers with a punch (Put the case rim upwards over an orifice – nut etc.)
  • Widen the mouth of the deeper brass base by tapping in a tapered cylinder (I use an old socket that has been ground to size) This makes a nice neat flange into which the smaller base can be inserted (tapped in with a small hammer) to make the whistle
    Notes: the small flaps of metal which support the primer need to be flattened back to leave a reasonably clear primer hole – not absolutely necessary but makes a better whistle if so done
    The two cases will usually stay together due to friction – epoxy resin can be used to make the fit permanent
    Finished width of the whistle is about 13mm
  • Finally tie a loop in a piece of string (aprox 19mm diameter) and force it over the whistle rim to make a tight fitting lanyard...
