Thanks to all the beta testers' feedback :)

Instructions:

Plunger assembly

I'm gonna be lazy here and ask you to refer to the battle axes' instructions on this piece. The WM_PrimingBlock_V3 is a simplified version of the original, where there's no space for the bearing, and the shell guide piece removed. 

Another difference is that a ball detent is needed in red, and a qty 1 #4 screw in green. The detent will stick out a little as designed
