Black Powder Availability Inquiry

/in /by

Ted Filer (a Revolutionary War re-enactor based in the Columbus area) requested that we check with our membership:

“GOEX black powder is the standard used by our Ohio Revolutionary War reenactment unit. But GOEX isn’t being made which puts us in a bind right in the middle of the 250th commemorations. Does anyone have any FFg or FFFg black powder to donate or sell? Doesn’t matter how old it may be because we’re using it as blanks with no wadding. Thanks!!”

Any FSA Member who can help is requested to contact the Membership Chair for direct contact information for Mr. Filer.
