You will love Black powder fire arms. And they don't have that ear piercing crack to them. Just a boom with lots of smoke and fire. That's us mobile.Nate
Found the ideal solution to my ammo storage issues.Here it is in its new home.And now have plenty of room.
Would you believe..still waiting on anything concerning my 1911 front sight assembly.
Done...and email as well.
Got plenty of anti-humidity absorbents in the room. I have a large one that you can plug in to recharge for the room, and plenty of smaller disposable packets everywhere.
This is in case you guys wondered what 60,000 dollars of expanded .50 BMG looked like.
Ok...looks like my luck keeps on rolling. I took a closer look at that New Englander and noticed after looking closely at the ram rod down the barrel that it was longer then it should be. I examined the barrel closely with a bore light and just can see a lead ball down the barrel!The local gun shop sold me a loaded muzzleloader! Now how in the hell am I supposed to get that out? Well I took a look online and it appears there are 3 main ways of doing this. First is to use a CO2 canister to somehow push the ball and I guess powder out of the barrel. Second is to try and fire it. Third is to use a ball puller. I don't have a puller yet...but it looks like I should buy one ASAP anyhow. Guess I will call the gun shop and see what they are willing to do for me lol. I just called a local gun smith and he tells me he can remove it for me. Firing this is not an option as I have no clue if there is power, or how much was put in. For Pete's sake, does the gun shop not know what they are doing? I just like the idea of driving around with a freaking smoke pole loaded.

Its propellant maintains consistent muzzle velocities across operational temperatures from −25 to 145 °F (−32 to 63 °C). The new Advanced Combustible Cartridge Case is similar to previous models but has a relocated skive joint placement for better crew-member safety during handling.[9] The initial order for 2,501 M829E4 rounds in 2014 had a unit cost of $10,100 each.[5] On 20 July 2015, Orbital ATK announced that the M829E4 had passed First Article Acceptance Testing and was entering production.[10] On 12 October 2015, Orbital ATK announced the round had recently received type classification as the M829A4, and was awarded a full-rate production contract to begin in early 2016.[11]

Never had a chance to play around with one of the full-auto ones.
