Cabelas in Columbus of course sells most CW reproduction arms that you see. Their prices aren't too bad if you're looking for new. Here's their website:...

Sorry not sure why my computer double posted this. Mods please remove since I can't seem to figure out how. :)

A good friend of mine and her horse are joining me in reenacting now. She is basically starting from scratch and we're looking for tack for her Haflinger cross and gear for her. I would prefer an...

I love my Armi Sport '59 Sharps. As far as cleaning goes it's MUCH easier than my musketoon. I use boiling water to clean mine simply wash the block and pour down the barrel and oil with Ballistol. I...

Greatcoat is AWESOME. Thank you for shipping it priority so I could have it for the weekend!

I use the same stuff that I use on my pistols and rifles, Ballistol. It works well to keep them from rusting, and it also good on the leather wrapping as well. It also mixes with water and remains a...

I know Cabela's has a kit with all the internal parts for the Remy from Pietta for $42. You get your main and hammer spring, trigger and stop paw, and hand and hammer assembly. I also have gotten...

I'm looking for a federal mounted greatcoat. So far I haven't had any luck. Just wondering if anyone out there has one lying around they could sell. I know I am more likely to find one to fit my...

Mostly in comparison with other repros I guess, that's what's on the field. But I have seen a few originals, and, as most are not completely perfect, the non-econs I seen at Fall Creek, and that I am...

I was in Fall Creek yesterday and checked out the sabers again after seeing this thread. The non-econ m1860 saber $125 is a very nice piece. No "made in" marks. Its marked Ames, with inspect marks...

It looks like most I'd say. I haven't been doing this real long, but one thing that is really nice on some of them is the tightening screw on the scabbard to keep the saber from sliding out of...

If you could post a link to the ad that would be very helpful. Ames is a good brand. Some cheaper brands get as farby as having a nut on the end of the hilt. Ames is one of good quality usually. I...

Have seen the "flash in the pan" Sharps effect happen to some who skipped the step of removing any extra powder from the top of the block. I shoot my Sharps off my horse in battle quite a bit, I...

I only use RWS on my Sharps, musketoon, and pistols. I have used their winged and non-winged musket caps. Firing wise I haven't had an issue with them, even with a case of 20+ year old tins I found...

From a little different standpoint loading my Sharps carbine. I was told when first starting out to either slap the stock or forestock before firing to avoid misfire. Of course being new I listened...

I have yet to have a pair of cav boots made for me, but I did buy the smallest pair of sutler row boots I could find to get me started. They still are a bit too big for me. (they don't exactly carry...

GREAT folks! I joined only a year ago and hadn't done anything except travel the country competing in mounted shooting. Reenacting is quite a bit less stressful than mounted shooting. I think my...

I usually use Ballistol on all my leather tack, shoes etc. It's also the best cleaner and preservative for black powder weapons. It will prevent rust even when most of the finish is gone from the...

Or no bridle at all. :) Takes way to much time to tack up anyway. :) My only problem is getting up on the big horse without the saddle. But he is learning to bow and lay down right now, and coming...

That's what I think to. Just another place to put some brass. :) When I first seen the captain's new bridle I liked it. It does look neat, but that's it's only function.

Sorry I don't have a really close up photo of it, this is all I have with it. Of course he is on the left.

My captain made one like this for his horse. Looks really neat. Apparently he had seen a photo of one somewhere and liked it enough to make himself a copy. It looks nice. I see you have a Myler Cav...

Thank you guys! I'm only a year into the hobby, and don't know much about these things. I was just told that he would like to have the "gallions" already learned new term. :) So I started looking...

Still trying to find out what type of material to use for the sleeve braiding. I can't tell if it would be a metallic, cotton, etc. Or if the braid would be flat or risen. Also if it would be more...
