The English Version of svartkrutt.net

Picture

On svartkrutt.net you will find information on firearms used from the late medieval ages until about 1900. The common denominators for these weapons are that they all are loaded with blackpowder. On this site you find some translated articled from the Norwegian site, amongst other things articles covering the old Norwegian military firearms such as the kammerlader, the Remington rolling block, and British firearms such as the Enfield rifle musket and .577/.450 Martini-Henry.

There is also a book published that based on this website. It is entitled "Vakre våpen - svart krutt. Svartkruttvåpen i krig, jakt og konkurranse", or the Blackpowder Book. It can be purchased via this site. It is only available in Norwegian.
