Is it legal to have /make Black podwer

[mosinnagantm9130]

No idea if it's legal to make it yourself or not, but it is legal to own

Registering an assault rifle DOES NOT open you to periodic inspections. Knwo how I know? Two ways, one, its not in the law, and two, I registered AWs twenty whatever years ago, and have never heard of anyone being inspected, me included.

So forgive me, but if you found this doozy, can you point out where I can read the material?

Here ya go skippy

31110. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the Department of Justice shall, for every person to whom a permit is issued pursuant to this article, annually conduct an inspection for security and safe storage purposes, and to reconcile the inventory of assault weapons.

Groverdunerider,

There is no way to make black powder non-corrosive. It is carbon, sulfur and potassium nitrate. The last ingredient is what gets you.

Who must get an Assault Weapons Permit?

How does one get an Assault Weapons permit?

The gun shop in SLO is wrong. Never shop where oblivious people answer questions. triple seven works fine. I use it in my inline ML 50 cal Thompson

I'm located in slo county. A gun shop told me I could only buy the pirodex. So can you make it ?

making black powder is not as simple as mixing 3 ingredients together
google how it is made

You can legally buy and store up to 5 pounds of bp.

Can you cite the code for this?

HSC 12102 states limits of 20 lbs of smokeless powder and 1 lb of black powder.

[mikeyr]

I have seen the 5lbs code somewhere, its been posted here before. But no matter, fire Marshall for Santa Barbara county says 5lbs. so for me that is max, for others ? I don't know.

[musketjon]

Call your local fire marshall. He'll tell you how much HE'LL allow you to have on hand. As for making your own--only if you have a death wish.

This will sound naive but why not just use BP substitute? Does real BP make more smoke or something? My local reloading supply always has all of the substitutes in stock.

Yes it makes more smoke and smells unique.
For me it is just for the authenticity. What is the point of shooting BP guns with something other than real BP? The smoke and smell (and ridiculous amounts of cleaning) is all part of the experience.

From what I understand, stored properly, real black powder will last FAR longer than any of the substitutes. It's shelf life is measured in decades, not months. I only use black so I dont know if this is really true, but I am using powder that is over thirty or forty years old and I can still win a turkey or 3 at Thanksgiving with it. I do know that Pyrodex will rust up just like black so no real big advantage there.
As far as making it goes, don't know about the legality but I know of a few that have attempted it, and the quality is way down from what you can buy.
Get acquainted with a local BP or muzzle loading club and you will soon be swimming in it.

[musketjon]

The fake bp is harder to ignite. My experience with triple 7 in a front loader was disappointing to say the least and I never was a fan of Pyrodex.

For me, cleaning any guns is an experience that sucks.
