This Pedersoli Brown Bess carbine was purchased in the late 70s/early 80s, and given the age it is in very good condition. The stock has no noticeable dings, and the “brass” pieces still have virtually their full coating. The only exceptions would be a little discoloration on the front end of...

How many of you have powder or the cans from years ago? Unboxing stuff from storage I came across 3 of my older powder cans (all before barcodes on the can). I just noticed that the “Superfine” brand was marketed as Gearhart Owens powder as well as Goex. The FFG Cavan on the left is the...

I finally found 1/2lb of real BP and I’m looking forward to shooting my old renegade again.

We're looking for a new or used Thompson Center Powder Measure Model 7048 or 7047 to purchase immediately. Yes. We know that Thompson Center is out of business.

I have been thinking that there should be a black powder enthusiasts video call/conference where a bunch of folks could get together and discuss anything black powder but I haven't found any that exist and don't know where to start if I made my own. So I won't make my own, instead perhaps...

I went to the gun store and bought some of the Goex FFFG powder they had and it’s an old can from 71. I’m a new shooter and I think I got very lucky with the gunstore we got here in town because they’ve got a lot of cool old stuff (Just today I was looking at a mosin nagant and a krag Jorgensen)...

Goex restarted production last week. Thank you for your patience on this long road to restarting production. Rebuilding and running a black powder plant safely is not a trivial matter. We brought in explosives manufacturing experts and made improvements throughout the plant. We made numerous...

Hey everyone, im planning a trip from New England to Puerto Rico in august and looking for some feedback on traveling with a black powder pistol. I have a colt cap and ball pistol that I’m fond of and would like to take with me. I understand I can take the colt if I declare it and it’s in a...

Hello all, new to this forum but I am pulling my hair out trying to identify a rifle I purchased, it is from the year 1600.. the lock is gone so I do not know if it a wheellock or a matchlock. I have been looking for what name this could be or where it came from… hopefully both. Yes I am aware...

Hello! I'm shooting cal .44 1858's. I got some homemade black powder and since there are different sizes on powder like 1F to 4F i'm wondering if i should load less using this powder since it's probably much smaller then 4F. It's very fine powder... i will send a picture below. Should i load...

I've got a little brass flask for dispensing powder, but what should I use to actually measure it (it's a .54 so I'd say maybe 35 grains of GOEX FFF)? Are there devices for that or should I just get a small tube and start counting. For everyone who was following my old thread about the antique...

Hello, I am interested in purchasing a functional medieval Handgonne, or having one commissioned to be made. I am looking for one which can be mounted onto a tiller. I am not looking for a specific caliber, nor does it have to be in new condition, or 'professionally' made. My only hard...

I am around the Bozeman area of Montana, is there anywhere near here or even near Billings or so where I could find real Black Powder, and not substitutes? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hello all, just getting back into BP after a very long absence. I have been putting together my kit over time with the little stuff first. I hope to have a flintlock by summer - most likely a Traditions of some flavour. Lot's of knowledge here and I look forward to learning all over again...

Does anyone have recommended safe 777 FFFg loads for .36 and .44 and Walker revolvers? I know it is hotter than Goex or other propellants or BP. Also I know it differs depending on the projectile. Need info for both round ball and conicals for all 3 calibers.
