Black powder Store - Ideas?

ok Smokin---I'll sell them for more--send me pics-- Can't buy them direct since I got to build up operating capital--but will give yu 30% over what you want if you want to broker them. I'd price um at $799 I have a 1862 police NIB 2nd for 799. I think it will sell for that. Do a search. There aren't many. anyway, when you do find them they are already sold. I think! Thanks for the rope. I did loose a shoe in the bog but thats OK.

Dang it Smokin---I'm gettin old and tired. I mean't that you give me a price and we'll try to price it at 30% more than what you're askin! Of course the price above what you want is negotionable.. and we probably would take 5% or whatever above that for you. That way you get your price--and we didn't gouge a customer and the shop made a few pennys/ you happy/ and a new and satisfied customer:) Of couse we don't want to gouge anyone. This store is more for fun, experiment, etc than making money. But you know-still have to pay rent etc. I'll price um at whatever you want me to. And if we make big sales in the next few weeks-I just might buy them. But can't afford it this month. Just hunting supplies will eat you up.

So Clembert, I guess you're saying that my manufacturing of Bp and recipe etc, should not be followed by anyone on this tread!?:D If Clembert didn't --I am-- DO NOT DO WHAT I DID---I was just relating innocent naive stuff that was very potentially deadly that I tried when I was a youngster. I know you all have better sense--- but someone reading this that has no knowledge might I should have had better sense to post it. I'm sorry. Please be careful with BP--it is dangerous and has to be respected. And don't make it unless you know a whole lot more than me. "The Smokin' Gun" Shop/Spartanburg,SC

Hardy, I wasn't tryin' to say anything about your story....but that is probably good advice you just gave. All I was tryin' to say that your story got me to recollectin' some behavior of mine when I was young. Do any of you look back on your younger years with amazement that you survived to see adulthood....I certainly do.
 
I know ClemBert. I realized after posting that silly story that it was stupid-and maybe some kid might try it. You know, I'd hate for someone to get hurt or die and it would devestate me to think It mighta been my fault. But I think after hearin remarks that the reason my powder worked was because some of the charcoal dragged across the rough blocks left jagged(prism) edges that mixed w/ finer charcoal. HEY-I ain't gonna do it again so please don't!!! And buying $30 old used navy arms pistols etc can be dangerous if they are worn out , never cleaned good and springs don't rotate cylinder properly. Some of these guys could wind up laying on their back with smokin parts laying all over their chest,neck and face. God forbid.

Don't need a lot a questions--just cheap offer:)
 
When we were kids we use to use cooper plumbing pipe and crimp one end with a cannon fuse sticking out, then fill from the other usually 1F blasting powder. Grabbed the powder from an old construction site a few miles down the road. Then (real smart :rolleyes: ) crimp that end in the vise. They made some great fire crackers and really pis..ed off the want-a-be biker down the street. We could make that old hog get up and go if he got near us. :D
 
yeah, i remember adds on tv telling kids not to pick up these. I never found one:(

I had a friend that made his bombs w/ 1/2 saltpeter and 1/2 sugar. Now, I do know that mine was BP because it had charcoal that was part fine powder and also some sharp granules(due to pounding and scraping across the rough surface of concrete blocks.(as I said before, don't do it unless you know a whole lot more than me!!!!!!!), never made it again after almost blowin up my dad's storage room attached to the carport :D Smokin' Are you out there?

Clembert-when did you live in Boiling Springs,SC?
Click to expand...

Hardy, I graduated from Boiling Springs HS in 1981. My parents lived on Lake Bowen from 1980 thru about 1989...the two story white brick house on the right side of the lake not far from when you pass under the I-26 bridge that goes over Lake Bowen as you are headed toward the lake inlet.
 
Are you reading a newspaper, Smokin:rolleyes:

I,ve got 3 1858 Rems (one is a SS 8") All unfired.

No body wants that dragoon in our store since smaller guns seem to be the new interest--but I do. wanna trade!?:::D

Clembert: Did you know Scott Williams and a girl named Noni in that era?
 
I'd like to horse trade with ya some time but jus' can't afford to now Billy... I'll probly be buyin' from ya when things straighten out...

I like them SS Rems what brand? Piettas?
 
an original 1849 Pocket revolver

Since I think this original 1849 Pocket Revolver that has all serial #s matching with wagon wheel still visible on cylinder and still cocks. Its one I'd like to offer on thread here and do believe it's valuable. I'll offer more guns later. I start the bid at $799. Ends October 15th.
