Hello all,

Been lurking for a while - finally signing up. Have been shooting and collecting US military firearms since I was a teen with my Dad; started with Civil War carbines and pistols, moved on to WW2, then Vietnam, then GWOT.

Have recently been reading a lot about the Rev era and am thinking of picking up a clone/repro .mil musket (Bess or Charleville?) as a wall hanger and occasional shooter. Still in research phase, reading books, and learning a lot. Appreciate all the expertise here.

Any advice on a good entry point .mil musket in the Rev era is appreciated!

Welcome,
Can't go wrong with Pedersoli Charleville or Bess. If your ever interested in joining Mott's Artillery reenactment, we're NJ based,let me know.
 
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 dimensionally?
