weknowpyro Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Just recieved my membership stuff today in the post. I'm offically a member of Muzzle loaders association of Great Britain. Should be fun.
optimus Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I'm happy because i just passed my grade 3 saxaphone with distinction, 97%! Is that an Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music Exam? Congrats either way! Weknowpyro - does that mean you can by commercial BP?
weknowpyro Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Unfortunately no, the guidelines are becoming even stricter now. Because I am still under 18 and cannot apply for a firearms certificate until then, I will have to use the clubs own guns.However the laws are just ridiculous. I can hold the gun, use primers, load the shot and wadding and fire the weapon but under U.K legislation I am not legally allowed to touch blackpowder without an explosives license.The laws are just ridiculous now, what’s going to do more damage? A person holding 20 grains of blackpowder or a person with a loaded musket.
fight fire with fire Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I use trinity optimus, thanks. I told this kid at school that i got 97% for my grade 3 and he said oh i got 98% . That kid is bloody competitive

mormanman Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 I got my ball mill and I am so happy it was like on sale or something and I got it for 30 bucks and its sopose to be 50 or something like that. Its a harbor freight dual drum rock tumbler. And does anyone know how old you have to be to be a licenced pyro.
fight fire with fire Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 I'm happy because i just made a pneumatic spudgun out of a water bottle, a pen, clingfilm and a schrader valve.
deadman Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Got a ~5 piece of 4 inch sch. 40 pvc pipe for free. I plan on cutting it into 6 inch pieces for ball mill jars. The only problem I have is end pieces. I believe I heard of a version made out of plywood and using wingnuts to hold it on. If anyone can point me in the right direction for this sort of enclosure please do.

deadman Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 I am aware of those sites and do want that style jar (6" size) for my BP jar. But I really am looking for just an inexpensive way to cap my other jars. Thanks though. Keep 'em coming guys.
pudidotdk Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Wow, Geocaching sounds really cool. Tomorrow I'm gonna grab my bike and hunt at least one of those hidden treasures down!

jacob Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Congrats Frozentech, that should be fun for the 4th. your in alaaska, how do you get chems up thar? (yes that's right, i said thar.)
asilentbob Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 You know... Alaska does sound like a pretty nice place to live... IMO...
qwezxc12 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Cool...I commercial fished (24 ft. Gill-netter) for reds and silvers in Bristol Bay back in 1993...Egegik and Naknek rivers on two different permits for the same skipper. Interesting to say the least. Did some work down in Homer, too. Also worked in Juneau several times the last three years.
Frozentech Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Congrats Frozentech, that should be fun for the 4th. your in alaaska, how do you get chems up thar? (yes that's right, i said thar.) ORM-D in small quantities, Freight Forwarders out of Seattle/Tacoma for large or serious Hazmat. Shipping is a killer for the Alaska pyro's though. Not to mention ORM-D comes by slow boat ( literally ) so a Skylighter order takes 3 weeks at least.
