Anyone have any information on them, I getting back into BP with a 1970's TC Hawken I built , barrel ID K67850. doesn't say black powder only. 50 cal. Sorry for the pic size first timeView attachment 195668View attachment 195668View attachment 195669View attachment 195668View attachment 195669
careful they may be made with a chlorate of other corrosive percussive compound. Not a big thimg but clean with water to dissolve the fouling.
 
On another note ... kinda happy with the unobtanium percussion caps for under 30 dollars per 100 ... old or new.

The lack of caps available have gently pushed me over to flinters. Very fun and they do not cost $ .30 cents a shot. I often get 30 to 50 shots on a $2.00 flint what with knapping to a sharp English flint.

Sad about my cap revolvers tho. May sell them as I refuse to pay so much on caps.
