Friction primers with red paint
« on: October 08, 2018, 05:06:24 PM »
Has anyone seen friction primers with the end painted red. One was dug on our trip this weekend. And was wondering what the red paint was for? Night firing?

I can see using paint for protecting them against moisture but not sure if the red indicates anything.  Looking forward to hearing from the more knowledgeable on this subject.
