Welcome from France, and from another retired RN (we call them RGN in the UK).

Is there a difference in quality between the British and the Italian made ones?

...and that is the very reason I am worried about transporting my old PH Enfield from the North to the Channel ports, and across to France. I suspect that without documentation of some kind, if I am checked by the customs people at Dover and they find it, they will take it off me - even though...

I try not to waste a single granule. Including Hazmat shipping, it costs 80 Euros for 500g over here.

Well, I've only been doing this for two and a half years, but it seems to be averaging out at about 400. It was higher in my earliest days when I only had a revolver.

Similar to me. 2 years between '92 and '94. Then a huge gap until 2 years ago, so - 4 years.

You certainly don't need to use the actual word to convey that meaning, as I'm sure you are aware. I do think that muzzleloadingat18 has a lot to learn life - wise, and I think your approach is far better than someone simply saying 'shut up until you can shave' or 'I'm glad you're not my...

I seem to remember you once saying a similar thing to me. Based on the fact that after a shoot I like to settle down in an evening and have a drink, putting on a good movie whilst I clean my guns , you construed that I was a drunkard who should not be allowed near firearms and that it was a good...

Good point. The Remington does have that safety facility.

I agree with you about Remingtons; I have never had a cap jam in a couple of thousand shots (although I have had several dozen with my Colt). Personally, BP shooting is all I do, and like you I am certain that if a violent person breaks into my house my Remington will go off. When I carry my...

The thought occurs that this young chap could just put it in a gymbag or something until he gets to his car...

So - is your interest in Black Powder shooting based on using it as a stopgap until you can carry more modern guns without legal repercussions, or do you have a historical interest, with a view to, say, developing it and maybe acquiring a percussion or flintlock rifle? I'm not being snarky with...

I have thus far broken a Ramrod once. By misplacing it and sitting on it. Thanks to advice from forum members, I was told that Ash is a good wood to use, and luckily my nearby DIY shop sells length of Ash rod in exactly the right diameter. After furnishing it with the parts from the old one, the...

I bet you could reuse those caps you make...

I am seriously considering making my next rifle a flinty, and I am currently reading and watching everything I can so I make an informed decision when I finally take the plunge. I am very glad that @ETipp posed this question, as the rain issue was concerning me a bit. Luckily there have been...
