Introduction to black powder
 

This was my introduction to black powder and what led me into muzzleloader hunting. It's been sitting around rusting for 20 some years and I thought I would try to clean it up a little. The bore doesn't look too bad.

Don't let anyone tell you Evapo Rust isn't a good product.

Good luck with the clean up.

You hunted with that?........................

do you shot BBs in that thing goog luck on your clean up

It shoots .45 cal. patched round balls.

I saw one of these sell on that TV show Pawn Stars. they took it out and shot it to make sure it worked. I wanted a slightly larger version positioned near my front door at home.

My mother in law has a full size one in her front yard. It was her husbands.

i had one, actually 2 of those years ago. Pretty fun to play with.

I always thought it would be fun to get a tennis/golf ball mortar. The vids I see on YouTube...they look like they are a lot of fun to shoot.

Pluckit,

Looks like a lot of fun. You probably could use it to hunt them suburban deer in AA County....haha
