I use 60 g with a 58 cal and 90 with a 69 cal. 500 g is just dangerous. Can you say pipe bomb? I have been in this hobby for a long time and I have seen nipples blown out and some hammers blown...

I now have a good supply of these in stock since I lost my real job after 38 years due to cutbacks.

My officers not knowing bugle calls was the main reason that I lost a very good battalion bugler. Roy Cloninger is a great bugler but he felt that he was just wasting his time. We gave all the...

The Palmetto Battalion has been merging with other Battalions for the past 4 years just to put a respectful number of soldiers on the field. At Manassas we were able to put about 140 rifles on the...

I do not think that correct braces came with instructions. :o) Although you have given me something to research. I will take out my books and magnifying glass and see what I can come up with.

My favorite rank is 2nd Sgt. Personally I think it is the most important position in a company. Most 2nd Sgt.'s don't have a clue of their role in drill, marching, parade, etc. I have been a...

I will attend the one that does not have bleachers.

Try using size 00 steel wool with oil.

I have always used original weapons at reenactments. I purchased many original musket/rifles during the early days from $300 to $750. Some had so much rust and junk in the barrel that I thought...

Federal Specifications for one large order was that it be 46" wide and 71" long. I include a copy of that order with the ones I sell. Also one end and one side had a 2" hem while the other side...

Jeff answered my e-mail last night about taking some Santa lessons regarding rooftop balancing. He seems to be in good spirits.

Ross, Thanks for the information. A bunch of us are doing this.

Hey Silas,

I am a Boy Scout Troop leader so "Be Prepared" is the motto. I really look forward to seeing you again.

Your wish is my command.

Yep, I can see the list growing to look like the calendar section in the Camp Chase Gazette. Everyone can claim that all events at least once during this cycle will be 150th events including the...

You may want to do a search on tent size and then fish around for an assortment of answers. I would recommend a common tent (A-Tent, Wedge Tent) as a first tent. Shelter tents basically were not...

Moderator hat is on! The thread is about announcing an event and not a public forum debate on gender. If someone doesn't like the rules of the event then please contact the people in charge...

I have an ambrotype of my GG Grandfather taken early war while he was stationed in Charleston. He looks big and his coat and pants are tight. You can see the pull in the jacket and it looks like he...

Sorry that I will miss being with those making the march. I had a heart attack on 09/02/11 and I asked my doctor if I could still make the march and he kind of looked at me as if I was crazy. I...

And the Gent is smiling :o) Nice picture.

I tend to make a weekend event a 3 or 4 day event if traveling more than 8 hours. At Manassas I set-up on Thursday and toured the area. The same for other events. It boils down on how you take...

Chances are that they were formed pre-war and either dissolved shortly after the firing on Fort Sumter or combined with another unit. There were many such units pre-war and shortly after the...

Folks, we need a lot of Federals for this one. We do the reenactment with correct ratios and we follow the battle script including all the chaos that happened on both sides. The Palmetto...

Eric,

I think I know who you are talking about. Seems that there were two involved. Sad to say that the father could not control them.

I think that this tread has run the course and the original post says it all. It's intent was not to bash anyone but it has become that with a poster.
