M1842 w/Brass Barrel Bands ???
Hello All,
About three years I picked up a Dunlop 42 stock and just for fun built what i call a M1842 CS re-build/re-fit musket. I used original parts ,(ex. the stock was already cut for a repro barrel), and used repro brass barrel bands. Being in Colorado, I have used this musket at AOT, ATM, and even ANM events w/no problems/comments. Just today someone stated they would call this a "Eastern", (ANV), musket only.
I would love to hear from you educated Gents if you think this style musket would lock one into a certain impression/ area of the war.
Many thanks, Paul.
