Show Your Black Powder Guns

[ncrobb]

We've posted our 1911s, pocket pistols, Wonder 9s...now it's time for those black powder throwbacks! Rifles, handguns, cannons...whatever you got! I'll start off with a couple of Pietta 1860 Army replicas. Give me these pistolas, a poncho, a flat brimmed sombrero, and a Kentucky Cheroot and I'm ready to star in a Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western! I like to load these with 25 gr of black, a wad, and a .454 round ball. I smear a dab of lard on top to double seal it.



I hope @colorduke posts a few!

Those are beautiful guns... No black powder in my safe but I do have a tub of Crisco.

If I had deep pockets I would have a pair of case hardened Colt SAA with some kind of bone grips.

Deep pockets is right...those SAAs ain't cheap! I'd put ivory on them, or would have back in the day.

It's nice to have dreams..

My son enjoys Black Powder rifles that he assembled in shop class in High School. Current political climates would never allow such a thing anymore.

Cleaning tear down after firing lessens the enjoyment to me.

I love cleaning firearms but black powder is really messy.

When I first started teaching, a student invited me to visit another classroom during a free period. It was "show-n-tell," and he had brought a new rifle to show off. He knew I would be interested. This was not problematic in any way. Things have changed a lot.

My boy Reid was a cowboy last year for Halloween and I bought him some really cool metal cap gun revolvers for his holsters. They wouldn't let him through the front door of the school and started to lecture my wife about the message he's sending. Everything has really taken a turn for the worse in this day in age.
