    Powder won't ignite

    Well, I don't see any screws on the drum. I can get a pipe cleaner down the hole the nippel is screwed into though if I try hard enough. One thing that confuses me is why I'd see a leaf or something move at the end of the barrel when I snap a cap off if it won't ignite the powder. Have a...

    Is shooting blanks in your backyard legal?

    That's funny, I just asked the police here the same question. I guess the law here is if I'm in the "old city limits" I can do it if it doesn't make very much noise.

    Powder won't ignite

    I have a TC White Mountain Carbine I got used that I can't get to fire. A cap going off with an empty barrel will move a leaf. I've been trying Pyrodex pellets, will try real black powder soon. Anyone have any ideas? I've spoke to local black powder shooters and no one has any ideas other...
