Selling my pyro

[Arwen]

Sorry, sort of serious thread but I burst out laughing at this:

I know when I've ordered bulk pyro it only ever comes via TNT and with big warning labels all over it.

What other courier company could transport explosives ?

Retailers can post things that private sellers can't.

^^^^ this!

While some couriers can delivery fireworks/primers/blanks etc they would have had a dangerous goods form completed (or i would hope they would) this would most likely cover them for limited or excepted quantities (if I remember correctly from my dangerous goods training) for ADR.

When you order from Fire support for example you have to add on the cost of the postage for dangerous goods as I

assume they use a specialist courier (although Ive had pyro delivered from a few stores of which used DPD)

I would say your best bet is going collection/delivery to your local site is the easiest way as mentioned above otherwise the cost of posting would more than likely outweigh the cost of the goods.

That's actually pretty interesting. I believe in this case we're 100% talking about fireworks/pyrotechnics rather than blank firers, but it's somewhat amusing that blanks are fine but primers are not? I mean surely one could extract the primers from a blank if they were that bothered, or do blank firers use a different/less violent primer? I'd have thought not.

Most blank firers will just use your normal blanks used in many of our BFG's alas if they are used in any form of fully automatic blank firer they are prone to jamming especially the larger calibre blank's

What Rogerborg is saying though is that the primer itself (i.e. not the whole blank but the firing cap) is enough to be bad. If you wanted to enough removing a primer from a blank to use in live ammo wouldn't be a problem, I assume. And of course there's the point that .209 primers are sold by the hundreds with no problem at all

Yes agreed it is, but funny like you say the get shipped from loads of airsoft shops and other shops without any form of DG classification or age restriction. Pretty sure once a primer is in a casing you cant get it out but having said that if I've been doing home loads for my friends .410 if i mess one up I don't tend to try getting a primer out i just fuck it off and move onto the next one.
