    Compass

    I have two of these that I use participating with Jaeger's Bn of Rogers Rangers. They are sold as a copy of the Lewis and Clark compass. Not quite as easy to use as modern pieces with no rotating bezel. The one problem I found with this compass (and I'm wondering if anyone else noticed) The...

    Strap Options for Day Horn?

    Maybe some others have already had this idea but I usually try to hit several auctions and farm sales in my area. There is usually a pile of old horse harness and tack. Some times if your lucky it will be moldy and nasty looking and you can get it cheap. Some elbow grease and neatsfoot oil and...

    Loyalist Arms Bess

    Ike, If your interested in some good research material there are a couple of books I could suggest that get down to specifics in most cases and i have found them very helpful: 1. Red Coat and Brown Bess by Anthony D. Darling. 2. Pattern Dates for British Small Arms 1718 - 1783 by De Witt Bailey...

    Loyalist Arms Bess

    Ike, Yup the 42 has never had an issue except reshaping the stock just a tad as it was a beast of excessive wood. The 42 works great. The only things I replace was some of the brass as some of the Indian casting just didn't cut it for me.

    Cleaning a pinned flintlock barrel

    LOL Yup! You can look at it that way too! That would be a "Once you get home" cleaning I would never disassemble the piece at a hunting camp or in the field. Guess I should have been more specific. Too much of a chance of loosing pins or a screw sitting in the woods somewhere.. If I was in...

    Cleaning a pinned flintlock barrel

    Guess I've been doing it wrong all these years, :headslap: I just punch out the pins and remover the barrel. No tooth picks, no paper towels, no special benches or equipment. Not saying anyone else's methods are wrong just saying seems like a lot of bother.

    Loyalist Arms Bess

    I've had two of the Loyalist Bess's for over 7 years. A 1728 and a 1742 model. My biggest complaint? The internals of the 1728 lock. The only parts of the lock that have survived intact are the lock plate, cock and the frizzen and feather spring. The main spring had to be hand made for that...
