    Middlesex Village Trading Co

    It is sad to hear that this company has gone down hill so badly. I have bought two third model Besses from them in years gone by, the second one, to replace one that was taken in a break in. They both functioned flawlessly, and the customer service was flawless. I had even requested if possible...

    P1837 Brunswick Rifle

    He will not be able to return it. IMA is very strict on their return policy. If you attempt to clean anything at all, you own it. They will gladly take it back provided you pay for the return shipping with no questions asked as long as it is in AS SHIPPED condition.

    1817 US Millbury

    I believe there was another contractor of the 1816 model a "B" Evans out of Philadelphia, as I have one with those markings also. I have the book US Martial Flintlocks by Robert M Reilly and he mentions the maker on page 101. He also stated that it was a type 1 and was rarely encountered with...

    Visited civil war battlefields

    Interesting, how could they know where he was if the grave was an unknown? Not doubting at all, just find it fascinating that they could do this! My ancestor died in New Bern NC, of sickness, along with his brother at a hospital and is buried in the national cemetery there, but I was always...

    Brown Bess Cartridges

    I would be careful as to shooting 120 grains in the IMA Bess. I have one, and I try to keep it at most at 70. It is an antique, and that would be really pushing it quite a bit.

    frizzen trouble 1795 Springfield

    More than likely it came from "The discriminating General" out of Canada and that is why the touch hole was not drilled.

    EIC P-1771 Brown Bess

    Of course they are going to tell you that it cant be shot, that is to cover their @ss in case something goes wrong and that 200 year old barrel turns into a pipe bomb. There are YouTube videos of them being shot, I have on that I shoot, you just have to look them over, use your judgement, and do...

    frizzen trouble 1795 Springfield

    Where did you buy this gun from? It is obviously one from India,as the touch hole has not been drilled, and I am also thinking that you got this from the distributor in Canada perhaps? More information is needed from you on where you got your gun.

    Anyone have a Middlesex village smoothbore

    Where did you get it from? as I have purchased two muskets from MVTC and the quality was consistent. I doubt Pete would have sent something out of his shop like that.

    Long Land Brown Bess "Ranger" Musket...

    I have no experience with this particular musket, but I have bought two of their India pattern muskets before, and found them to be well made for the money, and functioned very well. These are made in India. I WOULD buy from Pete without a second thought, he provides a life time guarantee on the...

    EIC P-1771 Brown Bess

    I have purchased one of their "kits" and although it was not one of the EIC ones per say, it was one of the "temple marked" lock musket kits. What you are getting is an authentic piece of history in untouched condition, with a newly manufactured stock that you will have to make the parts fit...
