    Wheellocks at the Met

    I go to see the Arms & Armor hall 2-3 times a year and see something new every time. Never disappoints.

    Charleville repro Miroku vs. Pedersoli reputation

    Rick, it also looks like you got one of the walnut stocked models – in my experience those are not common. Congrats!

    Charleville repro Miroku vs. Pedersoli reputation

    I had a similar question last year and got the same good advice from Dave: the Miroku is generally a much more accurate representation of the 1766/1768 model most used by our troops. FlinterNick also had a good detailed post over the summer about the pros and cons of the Pedersoli, but Dave...

    Pre Flintlock Books

    Stumbled on this thread looking for books on the wheellock - I’m getting ready to join the club and am looking for more information. I had been able to find “Wheellock firearms of the Royal Armories” by Rimer and can also recommend it. Another decent paperback I didn’t see mentioned here is...

    Need help identifying Charleville

    This. It’s an older Miroku Charleville repro with US markings added.

    Finishing A Fowler Build

    Although I’m still a little salty that you beat me to this project in the Classifieds 😜, it takes some of the sting away to see what a fantastic job you did completing the build. Well done sir, and enjoy!

    Finishing A Fowler Build

    Looks great! Still sorry I missed this in the Classifieds (by minutes!). Can’t wait to see it finished.

    Carbines

    While I’m still new here, initially I had also wanted a Colonial era carbine and was also under the (false) impression that F&I and AWI carbines would have much shorter barrels, as is true of more modern carbines. Turns out that, generally speaking, a short barreled military issue carbine from...

    Nice Tulle Fowler

    Was gonna say the same. Beautiful gun, but not really a Tulle fusil…

    Newbie Rev War musket advice

    Thanks Youngblood. Still looking, but seems like there just aren’t many options for a French 1728 outside of a TRS parts kit and finding a builder. I’ll keep looking…

    Newbie Rev War musket advice

    After another week of homework and reading I’m very drawn to the French 1728 musket. I really love the lines of it, as well as the fact that it can represent both the F&I and Rev periods. Question: did the commercial manufacturers ever make reproduction 1728s? As far as I’ve been able to find...

    Newbie Rev War musket advice

    Totally get it. I have a clone of a 2000s US .mil sniper rifle that is 100% accurate except for the scope: right manufacturer, right model, wrong turret caps. Would 98% of folks notice, no, but I can’t unsee it. I guess I need to decide what “accuracy” means to me in this context. Appreciate...

    Newbie Rev War musket advice

    Thanks Dave – super helpful info. Being new to this era of collecting and shooting, it seems strange that reputable manufacturers made inaccurate copies! I guess the next logical question is: where do discerning folks go to get an accurate repro Bess (or any period martial flintlock)?

    Hello from NJ

    Appreciate it - thanks! I did have a conversation or two with a re-enacting group (2nd NJ?) at one point but will def keep you in mind… I’m still doing homework, but it seems like folks generally recommend Miroku or Pedersoli, although a few folks seem to say the Miroku is more accurate...

    Newbie Rev War musket advice

    Yes, global war on terror. There’s a surprisingly large shooting/collecting community for the recent military arms of the US 2001-present. Thanks for the tips and pls keep them coming! Sounds like there’s general consensus that Miroku made some of the most accurate commercial repros?

    Hello from NJ

    Yup I’m close to both the historical park and the museum in Morristown. I have been a few times to see the Brown Besses and the original Ferguson rifle they have on display. Being local it always struck me as odd that Valley Forge got all the press, but Jockey Hollow was arguably a more brutal...

    Newbie Rev War musket advice

    Hello all, Been lurking for a while - finally signed up. Have been shooting and collecting firearms (mostly US .mil issue and copies) since I was a teen. Started with Civil War, moved to WW2, then Vietnam, then GWOT. Have recently been reading about the Rev era (lots of local history here!)...
