I played a bit with making my own BP about a year ago, but somebody on another forum told me that the law change in Feb 2010 and it is no longer legal to make your own. Anybody know about a change?

Could be but call ATF to see for sure. When I was a kid we made lots of BP and other things.From memory I'd say getting the size pieces is the hardest part.

It would have to be a state or county law. I would chack with them...but, I highly doubt it.

I think it could be considered to be manufacturing an explosive. We'll see what others say who know where to look for the legal info.

Per your statement about the number of guns, we are in the same boat, wife isn't sure how many I have, I am a lucky man! LOL
The first step of becoming a good shooter is knowing which end the bullet comes out of and being on the other end.
