Let's get the Bang List FReepers in on this.

Cool. If I ever get the time, I'm going to try and put together a collection of links on anvil firing.

Links to Black Powder Revolvers...NO racism or violence in posts.

I have numerous friends that have flintlocks and all of them were surprised how much Militec-1 helps in keeping the lead from adhearing to the barrel. I use it in my 'new' weapons and will not use anything else.

Thanks for this post, as well as the link. My brother sold me a .50 cal Hawken rifle (Cabela's - sporterized Hawken) and I am hooked on black powder.

I'm contemplating buying a Confederate Navy .44, with the brass frame (they used brass due to iron shortage). Anyone have any advice? Is the brass frame an OK idea?

Thanks, very useful post to this old powder burner.
You've been very busy!

Are black powder pistols still considered "non-lethal" - and excluded from Federal gun control regulations: waiting period, registration, etc...?

Thanks for the links. I'm always tempted to go to a IDPA Match with a pair of .44 Remingtons. All I have to do is remind them that IDPA is revolver friendly. ;^)

I created this site solely as a public service for enthusiasts and I, personally, do not profit.

The best public service for novice black powder pistol user would be a large
warning wrapper on each newly sold piece:
DO NOT FIRE THIS WEAPON UNTIL YOU HAVE SLATHERED CRISCO
ACROSS THE FACE OF ALL CYLINDERS!!!

Would I ever admit to being a fool who forgot to do such a thing...and nearly have a
heart attack from the resultant effectively-simultaneous discharge of 6 .44-sized
chunks of lead from a beautiful Rogers and Spencer revolver?
I'd never admit it in court!

A black powder bump back at ya. (Just traded for a .32 Crockett today.)
