Flintlock blackpowder gun

[rizzini 1]

Could I buy a Smoothbore, Black powder smoothboregun on a SGC. I've been getting intrested in black powder guns after watching some demonstraions at my Local clay ground. Does anyone know where you can buy these typeso f Guns? I've looked all over the internet for muzzle loading shotguns, but it does not come up with much. I'm looking for a replica, and not an Antique so to speak of.

Anyone know much abot this type of shooting?

 

 

Cheers

yes you can own a smooth bore shotgun with abarrel 24inches or more in lenght on sgc,you will need a black powder cert [ free from police but you will need an approved wooden box to keep the powder in]..henry krank of pudsey,leeds are the peple to buy from, they can also supply all the specialist stuff you will need to use it,i have one of kranks brown bess flintlock replicas and its geat fun ,but if iwas you iwould buy a percussion muzzleloader rather than a flintlock as they are much easier to use[flintlocks are very tempermental even when you are used to them] and percussion guns can be run on pyrodex a black powder substitute which requires no special license or storage box..hope this helps ..greasemonkey

What powders can you hold on a SGC? Also, does anyone know where you can source muzzleloading shotguns?
