Age restrictions for black powder revolvers?

I live in Minnesota and was wondering what the age restrictions for cap and ball (black powder) revolvers (think cowboys). Is it the same age as for regular cartridge pistols (21 years)?Age restrictions for black powder revolvers?
I'm not sure, you see the federal government does not see muzzle loaders and cap and ball revolvers as lethal weapons, but if it were up to me, you would have to wait until you were 18 to purchase one, I know that as of now you dont have to go through a backround check, or a waiting period, I would contact your states local gun law makersAge restrictions for black powder revolvers?
Black powder revolvers can be bought at age 18.
I believe it's 18 since it is a muzzle loader. but check your local restrictions first.
Call a gun store and ask.

  • Washer tears our clothes and leaves smelly black streaks/powder?

    I have had problems lately with the apartment laundry room washers tearing holes in our clothes and leaving smelly black streaks and black powdery crumbly stuff on or around the tears on the clothes. I thought maybe I was overloading but it happens on small loads too. You can't predict when or which washer will do it. They are high efficiency front loaders, not sure which brand.





    What is happening to my clothes? It's a slum complex so complaining or fighting management is useless, I just want to know if there's something I can do while laundering here or if I just have to go to a laundromat or hand wash from now on.





    It's tempting anyways since they raised the price after installing these high efficiency things a few years ago, but the washers don't clean well at all (when they actually work in the first place) and the dryers take two cycles to dry now.Washer tears our clothes and leaves smelly black streaks/powder?
    Your comment of ';Black crumbly stuff on or around the tears'; is a good starting point. Search the inside of the washer to see if anything is catching the clothes. Is it a front loader then it could be getting caught between the seal and the front glass. If this is indeed the case then since you are paying more because of these new machines there is a case where you should be reinbursed for the damage they have caused.


    I hope you have it in writing that the rent was put up because of the new washers!!Washer tears our clothes and leaves smelly black streaks/powder?
    Either of these guys could be right, but I' going with the first answer. I believe the dryers are in need of replacement or repair.
    I have a front loading Maytag that gets mold around the lip inside the door. My friend is a Maytag repairman and he said that my specific washer had a recall because of this. Unfortunately, we missed the cutoff date to have it repaired/replaced. He said to try using powder sunlight automatic dish detergent and bleach to clean out some of the mold.


    It is also possible that someone is washing some kind of nasty work clothes right before you. Maybe a roofer or street worker, Just guessing on this one.
    the drum is worn out it now has slack between the drum and washer housing allowing your clothes to get between there also. the black stuff is the old sludge left from years of use like the stuff that is in your sink drain. i would definitely go somewhere else from now on

    Is black powder from MRI really good as everyone says?

    Is it good? Trying to bulk up for football so I don't wanna spend my money on crap. Could u pls also list some other good products


    TyIs black powder from MRI really good as everyone says?
    Black Powder is a great product!





    Would also recommend:





    NOxplode


    NOshotgun


    White Flood


    Superpump

    Is 10% nitrogen, 10% phosphate, 10% soluble potash and 20% sulfur enough sulfur to make black powder?

    Most black gunpowder recipes call for three ingredients, only one of which you have listed. All the procedures also list problems of handling the chemicals, especially the difficulty of correctly corning to get the proper size particles. It is not a trivial process.

    What exactly is a 'black powder' handgun?

    I have, whilst surfing the net, seen sites advertising 'black powder' handguns, which caught my eye as I'm in the UK and yet these seem to be legal, and look either like Wild West revolvers or old pirate-style flintlocks.





    Are they legal here? What exactly is 'black powder'- does that mean that the gun does not fire a regular bullet?





    ThanksWhat exactly is a 'black powder' handgun?
    I'm sure you are talking about muzzleloading pistols such as single shots, 1860 colts 1858 Remington. there are a long list of these available in a wide variety of calibers from .22 to .54 these are also refereed to as cap and ball revolvers. they use black powder for propellant not modern smokeless powder. the powder is measured out, put directly into the cylinder. a lead ball is ran into cylinder. and a cap is put on the nipple. these ';black powder'; handguns are lots of fun to shoot.


    i live in the us and cant tell you if they are legal in the uk. i'd check local laws there before purchasingWhat exactly is a 'black powder' handgun?
    They are usually muzzle loaders using percussion caps.A particular expertise is needed with these weapons.exponents of these weapons generally mix their own powder which affects the muzzle velocity.
    Gun powder packing guns are very basic.. Like the first versions..
    Sounds more like a musket type gun to me, where gunpowder is poured into the barrel and the shot is rammed down on top of that.
    It`s a gun that fires bullets that use black powder as an accelerant instead of nitro based accelerant.
    These are usually the cap and ball revolvers and rifles. Back in 1873 when Colt intoduced the first domestic cartridge handgun, the Colt Single Action Army, the .45 Colt round was loaded with black powder. Smokeless propellent which we use today didn't come along until the 20th century.
    I don't know about the legality of them.





    The Black powder pistol is a muzzle loaded pistol. Loose black powder poured down the barrel, a clothe wad is then rammed in the barrel, and then the round(a lead or steel ball the size of the barrel) is rammed down the barrel. A primer is placed on the hammer and then you aim and squeeze the trigger. Hold the weapon steady until the primer ignites the powder and firing the round out of the barrel.





    Have fun firing this weapon, but use extreme caution as the sparks with fly all over and could ignite any powder laying in the open.
    It means that you had to put the gun powder in with a powder horn and then place the steel ball and use this thin steel rod called a ramrod to push the ball down the barrel.


    Then,you pulled back the hammer and placed a little more powder on the plate and aligned the flint so when you pull the trigger,the flint will make a spark igniting the powder and discharging the pistol.


    What a pain in the bum ,eh?
    Black powder guns are one in which the gunpowder and projectile are loaded separately, guns from or like those used in another era that has passed


    Not modern - age weapons


    Also, in America, there are special hunting seasons for black powder guns versus modern era rifles %26amp; pistols
    Orion 2506 Is exactly on the mark here. You would not use a steel ball as a projectile, and brass or wood ramrods are preferred, so you wont damage the rifling in your barrel.





    That's not counting some of the old reproductions, which have a built in ramrod.





    And yes, you may load all six chambers, although if carrying for hunting, one chamber was left empty, and the cylinder was rotated to that position, just in case the handgun was dropped, you didn't have an accidental discharge.
    Your correct they are legal in the uk we fire them sometimes, its really just powder packing and a piece of shot... in otherwords there is no casing like a regular round, they are more unpredictable and you may get flash backs if all is not well............ we make our own powder but im not telling you how lol
    Cheers:


    One of the better places to look is on the attached link...


    Most of the repro guns are Italian; Pietta or Uberti. Each port on the cylinder is loaded with powder, [possibly a 'Wonder Wad] lead ball and sealed with 'bore butter'.


    My 1858 Remington repro uses .451 dia lead balls- when pressed into the top of the cylinder, a small circle of lead is shaved off, indicating a gas-tight seal between ball and wall.


    No- it does not use a regular bullet.


    Unsure of UK legality- you are quite restricted over there, but there may be clubs and such... I hope so.

    cheaperthandirt [link] will not ship out of the US. I'll keep looking.

    not a pistol link, but a procedures site...good info.
    It's a gun where the gunpowder and bullet are separate. I don't believe any type of gun is legal in the UK, but it could be considered a collector's item.

    How do i make a homemade black face powder?

    i need a light black face powder and i need to be able to make it easily at home. Something similiar to pressed white powder. preferably not super dark just something to give a slightly blackened look, any ideas?? thnksHow do i make a homemade black face powder?
    Try fireplace ash. If you really break it up it will act as a powder. If you use a slightly wet brush to apply the powder it will stick and last much longer. Be careful about using charcoal. The quick lighting kind has lighter fluid in it and that could be dangerous.How do i make a homemade black face powder?
    get a bag of kingsford charcoal briquettes and scrape with a knife - charcoal has been used for a long time for halloween makeup or to give a dirty look to the face.... ALSO, if you look in the cosmetics dept at walgreens or your drugstore - you will find tons of black and gray eye shadows that will give you the same looks and affect - some may be flat while others may be metallic and it will cost under 5 bucks.
    I haven't tried this before but you could try getting some black eyeshadow and crushing it up and mix it with the white pressed power to make it a bit lighter and to make more of it.
    Burn some charcole. It may not be the best smelling but it would probably work. I dont know if that is what you mean by at home. but it would work if you had any in your garage or something.
    I agree with everyone else. Just rub some charcoal on your face. Good luck.
    charcoal?
    I've burned the end of a wine bottle cork and rubbed it on my skin.
