      These Thunder Mugs™ are for signaling/saluting only! These should NEVER be used with any projectile and should be used by responsible individuals only as severe injury may occur. Seller not responsible for any abuse or misuse of the product which could lead to property damage or injury. Directions are outlined below and should be followed in strict accordance.

      Directions For Use:
      Insert the 1/8" fuse into the fuse hole.
      Pour between 125 grains to 1000 grains of black powder into the muzzle. Start with smaller measurements and work up from there. 
      Load wadding into the muzzle - I use hot dog buns as they squish very nicely in the muzzle and make a hard pack. 
      Place upright on a solid surface - never at an angle - in a secure location at least 50 feet from people/pets. 
      Light the fuse. 
       
      Maintenance:
      This unit will be shipped with a light layer of machine oil in sealed bag. Keep the Thunder Mug™ oiled whenever in storage. Any kind of oil will work but WD-40 or gun oil is preferred. This unit comes without any protective clear coat or bluing so it is suspect to rust. To clean, use hot soapy water and re-coat with oil.
    • RETURN AND REFUND POLICY

      While these units are often beautifully machined, please note that is common to have machine tool marks, vice marks, and chuck marks on the surface from the machining operations. If any defect is not satisfactory, please reach out for resolution - I stand behind my work.
