Where to buy fuse?

[gmkmd]

Where do you guys get cannon fuse? I just got a small (2 1/4" bore) mortar that I think was made by South Bend Replicas, for shooting juice cans. Where can I buy some fuse so I can shoot this puppy?

Well...I know it's listed here on Back Creek Gun Shop's web site:

http://www.blackpowderva.com/

(which seems down at the moment)

Hopefully you have someone in the know who can help you with your mortar.

Dixie Gun Works lists it in their catalog. However, there is a $25 HazMat shipping fee.

Make your own. Go to an art supply store(only place I found them) and buy the paper drinking straws. Cut them in half and fill with 4F powder. Fold over at both ends. Ya stick one in the vent hole and twist it so it unwraps on the seam exposing the powder and light Runs about 2 cents a shot compared to.18-24 cents a shot for cannon fuse. =)

Hi Glenn,
I saw cannon fuse this Sunday at the E. Hartford, Ct. Cabelas store. However, after checking out the price for it on their on-line catalog, I've found that it is not listed. Probabily due to the high hazmat shipping. If you have a Cabelas in your area, check it out. Also, my gun dealer carries it, don't know if he could send it to you. If all else fails, get back to me. Good luck, Nightstalker

www.cannonfuse.com is the best price and options out there from what i have seen. i shoot the 2 sec per ft. fuse its faster then soda straws.

Raider ANV's suggestion is cheap, but VERY fast. For a mortar especially you need something much slower. I used to have some fuse when I shot a mortar in CA, It was green, but I don't remember anymore where I got it. Good luck.

PJ's type of primer is what I use and it's not fast at all. Now if you want fast simply sprinkle the FFFF on scotch tape fold it over and stick it into the sodastraw. Now that's fast.

Yeah.............seen the tape trick one time. That sucker went so fast the guy firing it ended up lookin' like-ah cartoon with the blackened face an all.

I don't understand how PJ's type of fuse can be any slower than the Scotch Tape kind. Black powder is black powder. Apparently the tape's ingredients are responsible?
