I've always had a great interest in the Regulars, both Old Army and new. Will you just have 2 companies?

That's the reason I got mine in .44-40, it's "less wrong", but in hindsight I kinda sorta wish I'd gone with .45 LC. Ammo is much easier to find and usually a good bit cheaper. .44-40 was going for...

Is the NC shirt patterned off the MacRae shirt in the NC History museum?

That right there might make for an interesting thread of its own. Was it not uncommon to see an officer carrying a rifle? I do remember reading about an officer during the Carolinas campaign using a...

Thanks Curt

Yes, I'm curious about the period charge. I don't do competitions but
I do love to shoot. Haven't got my Smith yet. I'll be trying out many
different loads though

What is the maximum charge? Just looked at their website and found the aluminum cases ($3.75 each) but they don't provide a powder capacity. Their brass cases hold 30 grains

I'll be at BGA

When are the tickets mailed out?

I believe the 2nd assault on Ft Fisher in Wilmington NC was at night

Back pockets may not have been very common, but there are surviving trousers from the war that have rear pockets. Two are pictured in Echoes of Glory Union. The uniform of Lt George Young of the...

Check out the 6th NCST http://www.6ncst.org/ While we're not in your area, we do events in NC and Virginia

There are a couple images of North Carolina soldiers with their coats tucked in. They are in the book State Troops and Volunteers by Greg Mast. They date from the 1861-62 timeframe and are studio...

Since it has the inspectors cartouche that says to me its likely not one of the 800 sold on the civilian market. So I'll go with "a post War 1901 or later "surplus" revolver puchased by a family...

Thanks for the bump!

The 6th will be participating in a small living history at the former site of the Fayetteville Armory and Museum of the Cape Fear in Fayetteville, NC tomorrow, May 21st. If you are nearby stop by and...

The 6th North Carolina State Troops, Co I is actively recruiting for the upcoming 150th events and beyond. The company participates in living history events in NC and Virginia and at many battle...

What weapons are recommended for CS infantry? I didn't see any listed in the guidelines

I'm putting together a US cavalry impression and I need a holster for a 1860 Army revolver. Well used is just fine as long as it still have plenty of life left
Thanks

If you only have a couple of hours, then Bentonville and Averasboro are the best bets. Both are not far from Fayetteville. There are many historical sites in Fayetteville including the site of the...

Very cool. I'll be at Ft Fisher this weekend. Didnt know I'd be able to do any shopping

Yep, we'll be there. Sent you a PM

I was looking forward to this event. Not only would it have been my first time at Goldsborough Bridge but also my first event as an artilleryman. I can understand why it was called off though. I live...

I'll be there. Here's a link to the event website http://www.bentonville145.com/

Company I 6th NCST has members all over the state. We're in the Carolina Legion with the 26th. Both units have US and CS impressions
