Abstract

Claims (23)

1. An injection molded primer insert for polymer ammunition comprising:

a top surface opposite a bottom surface;

a substantially cylindrical coupling element extending away from the bottom surface;

a primer recess in the top surface that extends toward the bottom surface,

a primer flash aperture positioned in the primer recess to extend through the bottom surface,

a flash aperture groove positioned in the primer recess around the primer flash aperture adapted to receive a polymer overmolding through the primer flash aperture, and

an extraction flange that extends circumferentially about an outer edge of the top surface, wherein the flange is adapted to allow extraction of the polymer ammunition.

2. The injection molded primer insert of claim 1 , wherein the injection molded primer insert comprises one or more metals.

3. The injection molded primer insert of claim 1 , wherein the injection molded primer insert comprises stainless steel.

4. The injection molded primer insert of claim 1 , wherein the injection molded primer insert comprises 102, 174, 201, 202, 300, 302, 303, 304, 308, 309, 316, 316L, 316Ti, 321, 405, 408, 409, 410, 415, 416, 416R, 420, 430, 439, 440, 446 or 601-665 grade stainless steel or Ti6Al4V.
