Welcome from Mount Holly. You have to stop by Ledford's Trading Post in Hickory sometime. It's your local muzzleloading store and home of the barefoot gunsmith. Definitely worth a visit. 1833 12th Ave NE, Hickory, NC 28601

According to them it's real black.

First I've heard of that brand. My only question would be if it's actually real black powder. At first you would think so, but if you dissect the labelling... "American Black Powder, Inc." - The name of the company. It doesn't necessarily indicate anything about what's in the can. They could...

You wouldn't happen to have any of the early standing seam roofing tools knocking about by any chance would you? Roofing tongs, seaming tools (tongs with a foot pedal) or hand anvils?

Well I'm not, so I don't. It seems as though they're recruiting membership from the ranks of their own members. Retention is great and all, but it'll never be 100%. Focusing only on retention is a sure way for an organization to die a slow death. I'll say that whatever they're doing wasn't...

My intent was to offer some outside perspective on the topic, this isn't an NMLRA-only forum. You're not going to get very good feedback on why new members aren't joining by only asking old members. You need to ask your target demographic, which is people who aren't members but are interested in...

I found it through Google when I was looking for musket nipples if I recall correctly. If you Google "Musket nipple for Thompson Center", this forum comes up on the first page. I had no intention of finding it because I didn't know it existed at the time. If it hadn't popped up in the results, I...

I have a perspective on this. I'm 39 years old. I've been shooting blackpowder since I talked my grandma into ordering me one of the 1851 Navy revolvers from Cabela's when i was around 13. That's 26 years. Now I own probably 30-40 muzzleloaders. I say that to say this: I found this forum about...

My eyes are too old to read it on my phone and my wife won't let me install a computer desk beside the toilet.

I was at the local Aldi and found jars of Morello (sour) cherries on the seasonal aisle. These are the cherries called for in Martha Washington's Cherry Bounce recipe and are usually hard to find. They're already jarred in light syrup so that cuts out several of the steps necessary for using...

Seriously though, if you have either of those last two I'm in need of them to complete guns.

They are. The original is called the Mag-Spark. There are a few other brands available but most people refer to them collectively as a Mag-Spark (kind of like Vice Grips or Crescent wrenches). https://www.warrencustomoutdoor.com/mag-spark.html

If you could point me toward the following I'd be much appreciative: - 5 Monme musket balls - .32 long or short Colt ammo - A magazine for a 1907 Dreyse light carbine - A scope base for a VZ-24 sniper

When I do it in my garage I blast mine into a bucket of sand. Wear safety glasses.

Welcome from Mount Hollywood, just on the other side of Charlotte from you.

Have you asked the manager? Mine keeps it in the back near the commercial desk, but not on the retail shelves for some reason.

Shelton Fireworks off of I-85 near Blacksburg usually has it in stock near the register.

Just cram it full of .22 bullets. Those technically aren't shot.

That's specific to handguns I believe. Regardless, caliber is bore size. It would still be .69 caliber. It's almost as if whoever wrote these rules doesn't know what they're talking about. Or they work for the ATF. I mean, technically, a solid round ball of any size is "shot".

So... what does it become when you load it?
