    Info on New Mil. Hert. Charlevilles?

    I just saw it listed on their website yesterday. I've been waiting for it since the end of last year, so it's good to know that it should be available any time now.

    To load Charleville/Brown Bess?

    "Original muskets", you mean the real thing and not reproductions?

    Ordered Doglock Musket from MH

    I have the 2nd model Brown Bess from MH and am pretty happy with it. I think the quality is good except for the bolt threads holding the lock to the stock. I worry that someday the threads are going to become totally stripped, but so far it is holding together okay. The metal parts were...

    Wood carving tools?

    I'm interested in trying some wood carving and am wondering what tools to get. I see sets in a wide range of prices, so how do you know what would be good and what to avoid? Also, is it true that the tools need to be sharpened even when brand new? What about a mallet? Now I have to confess...

    Powder Horn vs Flask

    I shoot my flintlock at a regulated range, and I wear a powderhorn for looks, but use small flasks for the priming and loading. To me it feels safer and more efficient.

    Good books on 1750-1790 period?

    Although I find "A Season of Purpose", and "Crucible of War" very intriguing, I think I am most interested in starting with "Rise to Rebellion". It's described as a novel, but I wonder what is fact and what is fiction? Thanks for the replies and of course more are welcome.

    Good books on 1750-1790 period?

    I just finished reading "George Washington's War", by Robert Leckie and "A Few Bloody Noses", by Robert Harvey, both which are about the Rev. War. Can anyone recommend any similar books, or perhaps the F & I War, or colonial life? I'd even consider fiction, if there are any about this time period.

    A couple of new horns finished (pics)

    Awesome horns! Do you plan to scrimshaw them? I always thought that the second one, with the butt-flap (or whatever it is called), would be more F&I style. But, what do I know.
