Yes, I've tried their online message page, I've tried emailing, and then called a few times over the last few days. Can't leave a message because his box is full.
I guess I'll just wait more.

I ordered an item from them back in Feb or March. Got a notice that it was on the way in late April, and haven't heard from anyone since.
They haven't responded to my emails or returned my phone...

The main primer recipe touted on aardvarkreloadin includes sodium hypo phosphate, which is a controlled substance, but there are many other non corrosive recipes that those guys use.

I don't have any Kroil. I have some PB Blaster. Is that safe on the cylinder?

I received the gun. It has a few scratches, but cycles well.
However, it has a stripped nipple. What's the best way to get one of those out?

I have seen, on this board even, that if you compress the mixture in the percussion cap quite a bit, and then maybe add some acetone or hairspray, the mix won't fall out.

Can standard piettas etc be converted to fire smokeless cartridges?
That being said, I don't believe he'd lie to me, and I couldn't speak for his contact at the ATF.

Just heard from my ffl.
His atf rep got back to him and said that its because it can be converted to fire full power cartridges.

Bought a roa from a pawn shop in OK over the internet. Had to ship it through my ffl. Apparently it can too easily be converted. Not sure why that makes a difference. Just found it odd.

Oh I don't need that either. When I can, I shoot an 1851 Navy .36 and a Ruger Old Army.

I made the charcoal myself. I used some willow my father in law delivered to me. I threw it in a paint can with a hole punched in it and left it in my burn pile while I cleaned up pine needles. It...

Burned some tonight.
Put a .38spc case full of Goex 3f and weighed it. It came out to 23.3 grains.
