Any MD shops carry black powder?

[Dave91]

I just bought a flintlock and need some black powder. Does anyone carry 2f, 3f, and/or 4f black powder? I found some online but would like to support a local shop.

I think Clyde’s Sporting goods does I would give them a call

If it regards black powder, I suggest talking to The Saint.

I reached out to him. Should have thought of that, we were messaging back and forth not too long ago about a rifle. Thanks.

The Saint does not keep any in stock, so I'm still looking. I'll try the other suggestions here.

I’m not a black powder guy, but I reload a bit. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen black powder at the Gun Shack in Mt. Airy (http://www.gunshackinc.com/) as well as Hafer’s in Hagerstown (https://www.hafersguns.com/).

Do try Clyde's. Close to Baltimore Beltway Exit 9.

I use a mortar and pestle to turn 2F or 3F into 4F for priming my flintlock. If you could find 4F a pound would probably last several lifetimes

Any risk to doing that with black powder? Asking because I honestly don't know. Thanks.

No, the mortar and pestle are ceramic. I had a can of 2F Goex and just ground a little up and Voila!
Chip (the previous owner of the shop where the Saint is) told me to do that a couple years ago. Works like a charm.

Good to know! My one and only black powder rifle is percussion, so 4F doesn't apply to me at present unless I one day get a flinter. Still was curious though. Yep, I get the no sparks piece.

Much appreciated!

Great tip. How do you know when it's sufficiently ground?

Nothing scientific, just until it looked right to me

Mr Vosburgh always carried black powder but it's been a while since I've been to his shop.

Brownstone Trading Co – Gun Shop Near You

he's located just Noth of Westminster not from from the airport

Try The Gun Shop in Essex. Last time I needed some about a year ago they were the only place around that stocked it.

 

[Dave91]

I stopped by Clyde's and bought a couple pounds. Thanks y'all.

Yeah, no explosives license would be granted here because I'm attached to an office building...plus its $200/yr for what?...so I can sell powder I already have subs for? Besides for flintlocks, yeah...haha

Easy fix.
Just buy them out and expand.
