The Museum of the American G.I. in College Station urgently needs CCI #35 (or equivalent) standard 50 BMG primers for reloading 105mm blank rounds. The museum is participating in the Mud Run on April 13 at Texas World Speedway. We are going to fire the 105 howitzer to start each heat of the run. We pretty much shot up all of our 105 rounds during last weekend's re-enactment. So, we need to do some serious reloading. 20 primers would be good, 50 would be great, but 100 would set us up for a while.

We are always looking for donations of such items, but we'll be glad to pay a reasonable price for the primers. Any donation is tax-deductible.

Please contact me if you have any primers you wish to donate or sell, or if you have suggestions for sources. We need these primers fast.

Please contact me at mark96ss at hotmail dot com.

Thanks.

I would try contacting CCI directly and see if maybe they will help you out. The worst they could do is say no

Maybe they could ship something to Champion or one of their other local guys.

Looks like I found some. The contact info for CCI was helpful.

Glad I could help

Local to B-CS the Texas Gunstore on Hwy 21E had some recently.

I don't know what good this does you unless you know an Ag in the D.C. area who would buy them in person and then ship them to you via FedEx with the HAZMAT but he's selling CCI #35 primers for $40 per hundred.

Thanks for the tips. I found an excellent source in the Waco area.
