Try the Z5 on a Budget post. Sabotloader made it.

Check out the variflame adapter kit for your Omega. I think you will find its cheaper and easier since you will not have to modify the breech plug. You can use small rifle or pistol primers with the variflame.

Just my opinion, but I would not spend the money on the vari-flame. I have one of those also it does very littleto stop blow back. The way the 25acp fits into the BP it seals itself against the bottom of the BP and does not allow blow back to occur...

The accuracy thing is a none issue... if your powder is good.

You could have your current BP drilled out to accept the 25acp rather than purchasing one, or you could do it yourself - there was a thread on here about what drills to use... I took mine to my local machinist.. he charged me $9 to drill mine...

i dont have a problem finding a machinist as my brother is one. i always knew he would be good for something someday. now i just need to figure out what tools i need to round up to deal with priming and de priming..

This is what I use to prime the cases.. You will need to buy a case holder for it also...

Also check your laws, AR has a law that if you can put a cartrige case in a muzzleloader that it is considered a modern fire arm. Lee

ok i just wanted to double check something before i head to the gun shop. what primers do i need to use???

caribou_sniper · 12-29-2007, 09:16 AM

These systems use small rifle primers.

Any of the auto primer tools with the proper shell holder will easily prime the cases.

If your brother is a machinist, he can easily fabricate you a simple decapping tool.

FYI: Should be noted that the primary reason for this modification is for shot consistancy and thus accuracy improvement. The benefit of capturing blowback from ignition is a secondary benefit. Anyone willing to proceed with one of these modifications should be willing to work up an accurized load for thier gun, which IMO and almost all of the independant experts out there, includes only shooting a loose powder and one of the better spitzer style saboted bullets.
