Appreciate that! I placed the order and at least the robot says they'll ship here.

Thanks. I didn't know that. Who sells it? I haven't checked to see if anyone in Fairbanks might have it.

Wow. Seems like there would be some opportunity there for local custom builders to compete with imports.

I've definitely been thinking about it. Do you know about shipping the priming compound? Is that considered an explosive?

Thanks. That's an option I've been considering, although it seems like all the suppliers of caps I've checked out in the States are advertising that they're sold out and to not bother backordering.

Thanks! I'm probably okay, Always nice to get a little more when they're available but I have six tins of caps plus several loaded cappers. It's probably wildly optimistic to think I'd go through more than that this coming summer although I'm planning to do quite a bit of shooting since I...

Yikes. I guess I'd better stop whining about shipping costs to Alaska.

Looks like I missed the boat both at Frontier Outfitters and SW. One of the guys at SW told me that Swanny in Two Rivers sells caps as well as black powder.

Thanks for posting the article. I was surprised to hear how much the military uses black powder. I'd guess that Goex could still make a profit if it dropped private sales of black powder. I find it encouraging that the CEO is a muzzleloader shooter and is taking the time to come on here and...

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm new to smoothbore and will likely be watching that several times as I go along.

Thanks. That's been my experience here in Fairbanks. Both SW and Frontier Outfitters said they haven't been able to get caps for a long time and they went fast back when they had them. I chose a caplock over a flintlock for my first muzzleloader since components for it would be easier to get...

Anyone here shipped percussion caps to Alaska? I'm just curious what the hazmat fee would be. I have enough caps to last a little while and hoping they show up on the shelves here before I have to look elsewhere. Looking like most of the suppliers in the States are out of stock as well.

A history buff friend of mine and I tend to meet twice a year at the local gun show. He always seems to come with a stack of books for me to read and we usually buy a book or two from another friend who is a vendor at the show. At the gun show last weekend I picked up a reprint of Allen's...

Anyone know if Lyman GPH barrels are still available?

One of the best aerial warfare books I've read was a semi-autographical novel about WWI flying by V.M Yeates Called "Winged Victory."

Great topic. I've been interested in muzzloading guns for as long as I can remember. I don't recall what started it but it was from preteen years. It took a LONG time to actually buy a muzzleloader and start onto the hobby even though I bought many books and magazines on the subject along the...

I just noticed this on a local sales site. Interesting since I'd never heard of halfstock NW trade guns. Looks like a really nice piece. I had it in my mind that I've bought enough muzzleloaders for a while so this ad needs to go away soon...

I sure miss our old Lab/Dane mix, Meg. Maybe not much of a hunting dog, we went out after grouse a few times and all she found was a porcupine. She sure loved going shooting with me, however. She always got all happy and excited whenever I got out the rifle.

Thanks. That's what I suspected, just wanted to make sure he hadn't dug it out and it was getting sold out. Yep, could be a while. Looks like more snow than thawing here in the foreseeable future.

I love that photo. Thanks for sharing. Dogs are so timeless and the presence of one in the picture makes it easier to imagine being there 180 years ago. In many ways that must have been a more dog friendly time. No stupid electronics to distract humans from doing anything real.
