Greetings,
25 years of firing a blackpowder matchlock as a member of the Sealed Knot Society (English Civil War re-enactment for all you colonials) in the UK.
I am just starting out on making a flintlock longrifle based on a John Armstrong, Emmitsburg, pattern. The project also includes an accompanying flintlock pistol. Lots to learn, should be fun. I made a possibles bag over Christmas just to get my hand in.
Regards,
Deerdiver
 
Always glad to see another member from across the pond . Sounds like an impressive project , don"t forget to post photos as you build . :thumbsup:
 
I'll do my best! My wife berated me for not photgraphing the possibles bag during construction. Lesson learnt.

Hey there Deerdriver. New here myself, but thot I'd say hi as my wife is a Brit- born in Derby and raised in Nottingham. Be interestin' to hear how shooters do things over there. Always interested in English history as well. From what I've read here, this sems like a knowlegabe and friendly bunch; glad to see you here too.

Welcome!
Hope you will find all the info you you need and not be bashful about asking questions.
 
I'm based in deepest Wiltshire, just on the edge of Salisbury Plain. I wonder how many other Brits use this Forum?
