Rut-Nut Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I posted this in the Canadian forum, but maybe someone here will know: Got a question for you guys: Is it a major hassle to try to use a flintlock with Black Powder in Canada. I'm concerned with the regulations governing explosives(Black Powder). I am going to Northern Quebec in Sept. for a caribou hunt. I'm debating about bringing my flintlock as backup to my bow, in case I only get long shots. But if it is a major hassle with all the regulations concerning Black powder, then I will just bring a rifle. But, if it's not compicated, I would much rather keep it Primitive so to speak! By the way- pyrodex or any of the other synthetics are not an option since I would be using a flintlock. ANy help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks Oh, and if makes a difference- I will be driving from the US to Montreal, taking a plane into schefferville and then floatplane into camp.

hangunnr Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Re: Black Powder in Canada- big hassle? I would guess you won't be able to cross the border with loose powder. If I were you and had my heart set on shooting the flinter I would get in touch with my contact in Canada and have them secure your powder locally. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
