Who here is up to speed on the black powder laws in CT?
Can they currently be shipped directly to a residence? Or is an FFL required? |

Haha!!!! Didn't I tell you that the other day? Granted my confidence level wasn't really high, kinda just above guessing, but I got it right! I asked you, dedeye and Nutter no one was sure 
So I figured someone in CT had to know! Thanks for the info guys! |
| the biggest problem with the conversions, is the price. Adding another $200 to $300 the price of a $200 gun, to me is not worth it. There also were reported problems with the timing of these cyclinders, and added a trip to a competent gunsmith kept me from getting one. Plus the scarcity of percussion caps has kept me shooting flintlocks. |

Nothing locally. Due to special storage requirements, no one carries it. I get it from Maine Powder House or Powderinc. For me, anything more than 10lbs is where hazmat charge becomes tolerable. Gotcha, thanks for those names. So in your opinion is shooting the real stuff that much better? |
Because I shoot flintlocks, I can only use real black powder. The substitute stuff requires a hotter ignition source (percussion cap). When I shot percussion, I found the real stuff more consistant, and it smells a whole lot better after shooting than the substitutes.

This is my primary deer rifle, 50cal bucks county, just to give you an idea of what I shoot: http://<a href=http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg199/pvarg1/50cal2013Bucks007_zpseba7147a.jpg</a>" /> http://<a href=http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg199/pvarg1/50cal2013Bucks001_zpsf729984f.jpg</a>" /> That is awesome! Even more so because you actually use it for hunting. |
