    Great BP cleaning solution

    OK, but distilled or mineralised; seasoned in a GI plastic water canteen; or regionally purified spring water ? One can never be sure of the purity of water nowadays, that's why I exclusively use "Pureau Australia's Purest Water" for cleaning my Muzzle Loaders, and for spit patching; you...

    Tannic Acid

    On the subject of treating/ staining a curly maple stock, has anyone tried the Iron / steel soaked in Vinegar for a few months recipe ? I have a friend in the US who recommends it so I've been trying to produce the liquid for 3 months now, but I'm wary of using it without others...

    Which is historically correct, precut patches or cut at muzzle?

    Which is historically correct, precut patches or cut at muzzle?

    Availability of Percussion Caps

    We can buy from the US on-line (IF the supplier is willing to ship international) but not Ammo, Powder or the makings thereof, I assume that would include chemicals for Primers and Caps.
