You lucky people. We don't have anything like that over here...

Indeed, this kit arrived by post without any hazmat fee or special requirements - but again, this is France where gun legislation is comparatively light by non US standards. Are you able to send for one?

Really? What about paper cartridges?

Swagman, when caps were really short supplied in Europe I bought a kit for making your own percussion caps using a solvent and crushed match heads. The kit comes with a metal template for making the body of the caps, the solution itself and an optional 25 reusable brass cap bodies. I have never...

Yes, but in what format does it come? Is it a book, a series of videos or what? I have looked on Amazon and nothing shows up. EDIT: Just seen the link provided by Dutch himself. I can't connect with it though, says 'Server not available'.

Nice Epiphone Les paul, and is that a banjo just in shot? I have a couple of Gretsches, a Gibson and a 'Django Reinhardt' guitar. Oh, and a trumpet! Somehow they kind of go with the gun rack.

'Seems best to live in Alaska.' I can't disagree with you there!

I live in the EU (Gun laws are great here by the way). In no way is the EU the loser - in fact they are glad we have gone, as we were always a troublesome member country. In any case, despite what the Brexiters told us, EU countries do have sovereignty. Remember when Hungary refused the EU...

The unit price is slightly less here in France, about the same amount but in Euros, although there is no hazmat fee. Does the hazmat fee just apply to one box of primers, or can you order say a dozen tins with the 30 quid hazmat fee covering it all? As I frequently return to the UK to visit...

UK gun laws are indeed ridiculous, but I have never heard of smoothbore revolvers being owned by anyone of my acquaintance, and to issue this as a smoothbore wouldn't make sense in the UK either. Given that rifled BP guns are perfectly legal in the UK, there would seem to be little point in...

Minie ball, with a flat semi - wadcutter point.

Worst day's shooting ever. Decided to use conicals for the first time with my Investarm .45 'Hawken'. Half my caps didn't go off, and half my shots 'keyholed'. Had to take the nipple off several times to clean the spark channel, and despite cleaning every 3 shots had three hangfires. The only...

Welcome from France.

Welcome from a Brit living in Black Powder Heaven (France).

Welcome from France!

When my kit arrived I spent some time making dummy cartridges with semolina. Now I pretty much make them all consistant, and its quite relaxing watching a good film while making up a bunch of cartridges. When out on the range its far easier just slipping these into the chamber rather than...

Welcome from France. My first was a Parker Hale Enfield I had for re-enacting, back in the 90's. Then I sold it - and had a 30 year absence until I got an investarms Hawken .45 three years ago. But be careful. It is easy to become a bit of a collector, and my living room is now a Gun Room! This...

Oh my what a bloody nonsense from my country of birth! How about I pay for it with my UK address and bank acount? Then all you have to do is paypal me, and when I finally get it I'll just send it to you listed as a sugar dispenser, or something.

Welcome from France. From Gettysburg? I think the 'Paper Cartridges' guy has a shop there. https://papercartridges.com/
