Mary Diamond Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Seems like a good time to bring this up ~ Harry or William, For those of us further removed ~ Is it possible to arrange for Black Powder to be available at PiP, due to the legal constraints associated with shipping bp? Would a show of hands from those in need be helpful? (Raising one, then my other, hand) *** What? I have 2 guns ~ Oooh, shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Mary, M'dear, I think Hugh may have mentioned helping out in this area in one of the other PiP threads...

hurricane Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Black powder is in ready supply in Florida and most of us will have a bounty of it. I for one plan to pick up 10 pounds over the weekend at Buffalo Bills. Woo hoo!!!! Plus Julie (who is with the Wolf) usually has a spare can in her purse any time someone there needs it.

callenish gunner Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 What I was bringing was going to be for the general use of the event ....I was going to ask that folks just toss a couple dollars into the ammo box to defray the cost and save the hassle of worrying about shipping or transporting powder....if that seems fair and agreeable to all.

Cascabel Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Boy, wish I knew where to get it here for $12 a can. Last batch was $21 a can for 2-f.-- Hurricane No problem. You just have to buy it in 25 pound lots. Get together with a few shipmates, and share an order. $300 for 25 1 pound cans, mixed grades, or all the same. Braze and myself stocked up a couple of months back. Maine Powder House, delivered right to your door. Check your local ordinances about storage of explosives. You never know who might think it is their "duty" to call the authorities on you. Some people simply CANNOT mind their own business..... >>>>> Cascabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkie McDonough Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Okay ...here is an obtusly related little tidbit ...and I do mean little. Specifically the vent pick from the hilt of my Murdock. I lost it last year. If you see something shiny (or rusty) on the ground this year ...check it out ...it could be my vent pick!

Mary Diamond Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 I'll have plenty of powder 4-5 pounds of ffg and a pound of ffffg !!

Captain Jim Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 As of this writing I am still coming, in spite of being without work for four weeks. It will be six by PiP. Still, my wife understands this insanity and is OK with me going. Right now I plan to leave here Thursday morning and return Monday morning. I will be bringing six pounds of fffg, two of ffffg (primer) and a couple of odd cannon grade remnants as well as paper for rolling cartridges. Normally a generous soul, I would usually just make this available for all but now I find that I will be needing to pass the hat in order to make this happen. Otherwise I might not have any powder in the coming year. This is contingent upon my still being able to come, subject to employment, but being there is a very high priority for me. I will keep you posted. This has also been posted in the Roll-call thread. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Jon Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 If Capt Jim isn't able to make it (and someone lets me know in time) I should be able to pick up what we need here in Ft Lauderdale and bring it down with me.

Silkie McDonough Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 William, I was under the impression that there would be electricity but we needed extension cords that could be buried or pulled in for the daylight hours. I have one 50' cord. I can bring a power strip if needed. Callenish was going to bring more cords. Can we get a confirmation on availability of electricity and an estimate on how much cord may be needed. I need it for my CPAP machine at night.
