Has anyone made a similar set up for steam cleaning your black powder firearms? Looking for a DIY version or something step by step

Anyone know when 24 gauge brass is expected to come back?

I know literally one company makes it but it seems to be sold out for a very long time now. Is the 24 gauge well all dried up now?

Psilocybe gallaeciae prints available!

You guys are incredible and I am sold out completely of my other spore prints. I’m actually all out of genetics except for psilocybe gallaeciae. But I have a good dozen different genetics on agar to kickstart and replenish all the spore prints I’ve sold out of and new genetics and undescribed species. Thank you all who have been interested!

But I currently have a ton of psilocybe gallaeciae prints available selling at a reduced price! Message me if you’re interested!

Also feel free to message me anytime I love to help with any questions or opinions on cultivation!

[Actives] Psilocybe Gallaeciae nearly fully matured

Second flush has too many spores floating around, was going to let it mature more but it’s pretty much near its maximum age.

Psilocybe “gallaeciae “ tampanensis prints and swabs available

Just wanted to clear some things up! Apologies but there was research done in between receiving the spores as psilocybe gallaeciae and fruiting them now. They were tested and came up as tampanensis recently which is, in and of itself, something more interesting than it being a different species.

It essentially means it’s a colder growing tampanensis strain.

What does this mean? It means a lot actually, tampanensis was only known to fruit in the south east United States. This specific “strain” fruits at colder temps at different parts of the year in Europe from Spain to France. Can you see how this is a very strange and yet interesting thing?? The same mushroom species fruits at a tropical weather in the US but the European mushroom fruits in the fall near winter. This is a very weird and interesting finding that I didn’t even know existed.

What would cause this weird split? Don’t know I’m
Not the expert, but when I was gifted these spores from a good friend around November last year, I wasn’t expecting the gallaeciae species to change to a synonym to tampanensis.

EDIT: So I am still selling psilocybe gallaeciae prints but as pheno mentioned earlier they are definitely from spain and its not updated in the gene bank so its proper label still psilocybe gallaeciae. To also not confuse it with psilocybe tampanensis thats already floating aroujnd.

Also if you purchase any print or swab from me and you’re in the US, I’ll give you a free swab of psilocybe tampanensis gallaeciae. I want to apologize for not knowing this and possibly
Causing confusion!

[Actives] Psilocybe Gallaeciae flush 2

The oldest fruits are completely covered in their own spores. Going to let them age out more.

[Actives] psilocybe gallaeciae ready for spore printing

First flush, let’s see how many I can get from this first grow.

[Actives] Psilocybe Gallaeciae

First flush of psilocybe gallaeciae. The caps were starting to change colors and I have no idea why. Maybe too much moisture or possibly from aging. More flushes and grows will help find out why. Can’t find anything online for cultivation of fruits but I think it has been cultivated on grain for sclerotia though.

Any info on this new business in Rio Dell?

Is this the Humboldt seed company or a different brand? Curious if anyone knows anything about it. Thanks.

What’s a decent affordable tumbler upgrade for making black powder

Currently using harbor freights rock tumbler which does fine but I want to upgrade it to a faster and large tumbler that can make more black powder. Harbor freight is pretty slow and can’t hold nearly as much as I want.

1851 colt navy interchangeability

I was wondering if its possible to interchange between both the .44 and .36 caliber pietta versions? Example being I own the 44 caliber 1851 and could I just technically buy a 36 caliber cylinder and barrel and it will work just fine? or are there tollerance differences between those two?
