You're in Sussex and I'm down in Monmouth near 6 Flags.

 However I have :  1 lb Goex FF, 1 3/4lbs  Goex &  3/4 lb Swiss FFF, 2 of Dixons FFFF priming bottles plus flints, patches, jags, ramrods & other stuff as I am no longer shooting my flintlocks or BP revolvers.

If you or anyone else is interested I'll put a more detailed  list together.

Tim Williams the builder is in Alaska on a hunt and when he returns he said he would buy them back if I haven't sold them beforehand.  So I just put them out there today in case someone on the forum was interested. Tim currently has a 3 to 4 year wait for a new one and they are $2K to $3K more now due to his reputation and current skill level in building them.

Old, tired & pee a lot and my hunting partner, my GSP, only likes to bird hunt.
