G'day from down under

[cicchis0]

My name's Soren and I'm from Perth, Western Australia. Full disclosure: I don't own a muzzleloader and it's unlikely that I will in the future. Why am I here, you might ask. Well, I was referred to some fantastic information about traditional stock finishing on here, and I'm sure the forum will prove equally useful a resource for steel treatment. I'll be using this information when restoring tools and making knives. I'm not completely disinterested in muzzleloaders and firearms in general - the mechanisms are fascinating to me as an unemployed mechanical engineer, and I used to live next to the bloke that came up with rollsizing machinery for refurbishing brass ammunition cartridge cases for precision reloading. However, living where I do, my interest is likely to remain purely intellectual rather than practical so I probably won't be very active here but I don't want to upset the admins by lurking without introducing myself.

What restrictions are there on muzzle loaders Down Under? Are percussion revolvers verboten? G'day.

G’Day Mate and welcome from Western North Carolina.
Just ask the questions.
There are many techniques for steel and wood finishing depending on the wood.
