We need to let the Army Corps of Engineers know that The only coarse of action is to preserve Zoar as it is, by repairing the levee.

Hi all,

I wasn't sure if I should put this here or in the Sutler board, so feel free to move it if you must. The group I sing with, The Black River Boys have released an album. The songs are now...

Members of the 51st OVI (myself included) marched in the Canton Ohio Memorial Day Parade. To my surprise they asked us to lead the parade. We marched roughly two mile to The McKinley Presidential...

I purchased a band spring and spare clean-out screws from RQ with no issues. I with there were more places to get those little parts from though. To me it's silly to pay shipping for something so...

Sir,

My post was NOT an "us vs. them" post. My point was simply that it's a good idea to choose a unit before you buy a rifle. When I was looking for a unit to join I remember seeing a few that...

It would depend on the unit you join, and there rules and level of authenticity. Most mainstream groups won't care as long as it's a 3-bander, and in safe working order. Most of the guys in the...

Mr. Bruce,

I'll be there, as will most of my company. We're one of the host units. I'm sure everyone would welcome you if you'd like to fall in with us. Check us out at www.51stovi.com, and go...

Hello Gents,

I'm interested in getting a used Federal Infantry Frock. Mainstream quality is fine with me. I need a size 50 regular. The price to beat $120, for a new one. I don't want to pay...

Indeed they would, sir. The more the better I say.

I couldn't tell you who is coming from where, but if you send a PM to the OP, KingofZoar, he may have the answer.

However, if you would like to make the trip out here, I'm certian there will be...

I use a .58 caliber button jag. I haven't lost a single patch yet. It fits down the bore fine as long as your not trying to go in crooked. You really have to make sure you have the rod striaght. ...

The 51st OVI has a civilian, ladies commitee. We are a family friendy, non' profit 501-C3 organization. We're based out of Tuscarawas County, in North East Ohio (just south of Canton). Check out...

We all know this is an expensive hobby, and there are different levels, with different financial commitments. I'm starting small, with mainstream gear, but it's still a sizable investment to a...

I did not mean to seem judgemental. And I did forget about the rain. I speak from my p.o.v. To each his own as long as his weapon is safe. For me spending that kind of money on one thing makes me...

Yeah, I don't get it. I'm just a fresh fish, but keeping my musket clean is a top priority. Not only is it field cleaned, but I give it the good scrubbing when I get home. I like hearing that ping...

I was there in the company these guys were shooting at. We were the right Flank. I can attest that they were at a safe distance from the spectators. But it was a scripted battle. Now it was only...

The 51st O.V.I. Co. B is always looking for "fresh fish". We're based in Tusarawas County, but have members from all over the state. Check us out.

Bump! The 51st will be at the Burton, OH Century Village event this Saturday, the 26th. stop by and check us out.

That's indeed an excellent point Tom. All I'm saying is that CCI is missing out on a another large group of potential customer by not making 4-winged caps. If they had a product comparable to...

If you read my first post in this thread, you can see that most of my interests are outside of the norm. I got used to wierd looks along time ago, even from my own family. Fortunatley, I don't care...

You'd think, that in the interest of capitalism, and compatition, that CCI would start making their own 4-winged caps. That's what I'd do. Whatever happened to market research?

I don't know if this helps the discussion or not, but.....

I went to the Civil War Show in Mansfield OH this past Sunday. I guess the shortage of 4-winged caps is over. Fall Creek and Regimental...

Well, I'm 29 so I fit in the age range of a real CW Soldier. I guess I'd be on the old side. I'm 6ft 250, and I've always been big, though back in high school it was more chest and less gut, but I...

I'm a massage therapist, husband and father. My daughter is 19 months old. She takes up alot of my time. I love American History (well all history, but American is my favorite) especially the ACW....
