His PMI didn't really have much to do with him, as he was already instructed by ex-military, not just backwoods bumpkins. But I'd like to see his PMI hold a tight group with a flintlock...

Just an update from a proud dad on his upcoming Marine: I got a letter this morning and he informed me he shot "Expert" at the range 31 May 2013! I am very proud of him for this accomplishment. He...

Thank you very much for the help and info, it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that info, I was decieved by the photos. I should have been suspicious as I had dealings with them over some 1909 Argentine bayontes some years ago. Was going to convert them into...

This one is with recess for caps. I am not very good at close-ups with the digital cameras. This one also is lacking all the "engraved" scrolling that my reproduction hammer has, just has the...

I was finally able to get some photos of the hammer uploaded to my photobucket acct.:

Here is one more shot of the lock:

Not sure what model to call this, it looks like the 1863 Remington Zouave, but it...

I have this 1970's reenactor musket for sale or preferably trade. It is a second generation Armi Jager in very good condition, fired very little. Was used primarily for school presentations by the...

Or, as I found out recently, you can get an original Enfield for about $900 from Atlanta Cutlery, and have it checked out by a gunsmith for blank fire. Likely it will be in good to very good...

Thanks, I didn't know if these were worth anything or not, I may put it up for sale in the proper forum if I can get pictures up.

Not sure if this is the proper place for this, but here goes:

I got this hammer from a friend of mine recently in a box of old muzzleloader parts I bought from him, checked it against my...

Not a period correct fix, but I use "Chicago" two-piece threaded rivets on both my scabbard when doing infantry, and my pistol holsters when I am "bushwhacking".

I have enjoyed this thread very much, thanks to those who've shared. I don't have too many from this time period yet, still working on those. Lots from Mountainy-man rondyvoo days and colonial...

I was gonna ask about the cone vent too. Are you using a standard "hunting" type cone (nipple) with small orfice, or a "reenactor" type with an enlarged orfice? I had to go with the reenactor type...

Only one for me; people that sit around the camp looking for things to complain about later on-line.

Sorry, that's just the way I feel about it.

Sir, I know better than to "issue" live rounds at a reenactment, and I did not ask the original question here on this thread, just thanking those who posted reasonable responses to the question that...

My mistake, mine are two-hole and not four. Sorry for that but sending them along anyhow, maybe you can use them for something else?

I am getting ready to build Enfield ammo pcks and found lots of images in the image bank on the BING server. I just typed in "enfield ammunition packs" into the image search engine, and got all I...

I have a bag of the brown wooden dish buttons four-hole type as pictured in the center of the three examples. If you will PM your addy I'll put half a dozen in the mail this week. I got them in a...

Thanks for the repiles, we have been running 60 gr. 3f in our unit for blanks. As a sort-of-new-guy ( I started in this a few years back but had to take time out), it helps to read these...

I believe you are referring to the 1841 Smoothbore .69 cal. ? Some were converted to percussion from flint IIRC, and one Confederate Tenessee unit was carrying these as late as 1863 still in flint,...

Many thanks for all your effort! I really appreciate the work. I only have an hour at a time here at the library and have other things to do while on-line, so this really helps me out lots, I owe...

Curious, are the historic loads of 60 & 65 grains 2f or 3f in rifle-muskets?

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it very much. I did find some arsenal packs in the image banks on-line finally. Yes, I had the Sharps Rifle bullet and Colt Pistol bullet packs confused with the...

I have an early 1970's Armi Jager musket rifle that looks like the zouave but isn't a zouave. It has the flat lockplate with no markings on it. It's in very good shape, (bluing is about as close to...
