That is handy to know
This is purely for info but the MLAGB now stock consumables for black powder guns. We are agents for a German company called Guenter Stifter (http://stifters-gunflints.de/shop/main.php) and can source anything (of a non explosive nature) from his catalogue. Postage is at cost and we have nipples and wrenches in stock.
We currently have 3 different types of nipple: For original American revolvers, repro revolvers (6mm x 0.75) and underhammers (6mm x 1).
Two different types of nipple key are available from stock: short, to get at a nipple without removing the barrel and long ones that clear the cylinder for revolvers.
We've also got stock of the cleaning patches in three different sizes.
PM me with any requirements and I'll price the items for you.

How does one join the MLAGB when you don't know any other members?
I don't have the means to travel beyond my local clubs.
The Black-Powder Revival gathers steam..
I'd have to check with the committee but I feel certain that an introductory letter from your club secretary would be more than adequate.
I'm treasurer for the MLAGB so if your application comes up, I'll have a word. Look forward to seeing you at a meeting in the future.
