Hey, Y'all -
Haven't posted in many moons, just don't get online much especially since the flood. Cleaning up and making repairs after having 4 feet of water in your house is a full-time job!
Good news is that I salvaged all my firearms - most had some surface rust that came off with Kroil and a Scotchbrite pad. I'm especially happy that my Three-Band Enfield came through looking almost untouched. The Hawken, not so much, but since it's a Frankenrifle that I pieced together in the first place, I'll just wipe some G96 on the barrel and be done with it.
Which brings me to my question - where in tarnation does one go in the Baton Rouge area to buy real black powder? Used to be everywhere, even at Evil Wally, but now you can't buy, borrow or mooch any. Is there a source anywhere within an hour's drive of Red Stick for Goex or even some of the German and Swiss powders? I only need a couple of pounds of FFg, and I can't see paying HAZMAT plus shipping for that.
Any input will be appreciated!
