Muzzle Loaders Association of Great Britain [MLAGB]

The MLAGB was formed in 1952 and is the Governing Body for muzzle loading within the UK. Its objectives are to encourage an interest in muzzle loading firearms; to promote, regulate and safeguard their use; and to preserve their freedom of collection.

The Muzzle Loaders Association of Great Britain (MLAGB) is registered as a Home Office approved Full-Bore Rifle and Muzzle Loading Pistol Club.

The MLAGB is an active member of the British Shooting Sports Council and a leading voice for the rights of the shooter. The complexity of the Firearms Act relating to muzzle loaders makes the MLAGB the only authority capable of pursuing the rights of the muzzle loading enthusiast. Black powder also requires special authority to acquire and again the Association understands the users' needs and obligations in relation the law.

Although an Association, the MLAGB has held Home Office Approval as a Rifle and Pistol Club since its earliest days. It is currently registered under the Home Office Club Conditions that came into effect in 1997 as a Full Bore Rifle and Muzzle Loading Pistol Club.
