ML prices when powder is n/a

[tom in nc]

Reckon if ML gun prices, at the local pawn shops and flea markets, will get back to reasonable, when some shooters find powder is not readily available? Panic sellers might decide to "unload" (pun intended) their guns? I'll buy 'em and shoot Pyrodex, or, can I say (?) make my own.

 

[William Lincoln]

The real unloading will occur if the government outlaws BP arms--
hopefully, people will block those moves. At least one Bill proposes
elimination of antique arms use--so keep your Rep & Senators phones.

 

[Steve Martin]

The timid might start selling but most won't. Also consider all the laws and efforts to restrict and ban unmentionables and the price of those certainly haven't come down. As for BP, it will always be available - one way or the other.

I think prices on muzzleloaders has softened somewhat post COVID lockdown. Blackpowder shortages, or more to the point, speculation and hype about shortages might further reduce demand on this category of guns. I don’t expect panic selling though.

However, as has been pointed out, any perceived effort to ban a category of gun increases demand. I keep thinking hoping that we could see a good movie increase demand.

We had the movie Jeramiah Johnson to get people interested in muzzle loading, What we need now is a movie where the mountain man shoots his ramrod through the heart of the vampire, and makes his powder horn into a bomb to "kill" the zombies. then younger people will get interested.

When supplies are tight prices go UP - fact along with all the accessories.

 

[William Lincoln]

Two things drive the market: supply and demand. Supply is from manufacture-imports
and used guns (largely from owner deaths) and financial needs of owners & dealers.
The Biden administration is anti-gun imports. hopefully they will allow the antique
replicas to flow freely. Our market is far safer from over-regulation than the modern
stuff- many reasons. Commonly, most governments will go easy on antiques & replicas.
Flintlocks are the safest from regulation. This is why sources like Kibler are important.
Kits allow you to make the gun from parts. Homemade guns are free from Federal
Jurisdiction according to the Constitution( however the Constitution is often ignored).
BoyScout watchwords apply here: "BE PREPARED." Think powder & caps.

Well the folks that sell replacement ramrods and the folks that sell the cheap inexpensive powder horns will likely sell a bunch...,

Who introduced that bill?

 

[William Lincoln]

The Bill from the Rep from Houston, it was also here on the Forum. A Black Rep from
Harris County wrote the proposed bill. You get a permit to wall hang it etc. I do not
know its status. I have been watching "Guns and Gadgets" to see it
pop up. I heard the same lady was allegedly involved in voter frauds. Check out
HR 127--license for antique firearm display. However, I do not think it will pass.
It is a registration act. Even Dems think it will not pass. But needs watching.
NBC did a BP revolver hit piece that was on behalf of Brady people I think.
I think they might tighten up purchasing the BP handguns--we must watch them.
Be ready to call our Reps & Senators.

Shiela Jackson Lee? I honestly wasn’t sure she could read or write, because of all the stupid crap she’s said over the years. She’s a moron.

She has staff, hers has to interpret her incoherent rambling, but I doubt if any rep has written a bill this century, maybe last.

 

[William Lincoln]

Read HR 127 on Google--that's her garbage.

I'd watch it lol

 

[leadhoarder]

Is that movie kind of like the one about Honest Abe killin' a bunch of vampires?

 

[vintovka]

The problem is toleration. It has been weaponized

 

[sportster73hp]

Even Nancy thinks bp guns are ok. She has stated the second amendment is only for guns used “ back then”. As for wall hangers would that include the all wood ones from Hobbie Lobbie or your kids toys?

Hot dog! Throw in a buck board flipping over and bursting into flames and I might even take the better 2/3's to the movie show!

I wonder if she thinks freedom of the press as guaranteed in the 1st amendment applies only to those that are running a screw press?
