The absolute joy of filth.....Black Powder!!! I have been thrust back into my love of muzzleloading firearms and nothing beats a day of heavy smoke and filthy hands.

Actually my black powder guns are pretty clean. Years back when I was using fake stuff and the wrong lube, now that stuff was a mess. Yuck.
