    India made Brown Bess.

    If you know how to assemble a gun.

    Low cost Brown Bess Short Land Rifle?

    Thank you! I heartily agree about this point. I saved money on buying a Loyalist because I didn't want to spend $1000 on a Pedersoli. I get that some people can find deals on guns all the time, but I don't have that kind of horseshoe luck. I've owned my Loyalist SLP for a year and a half now...

    Tin Canteen Rust

    Might be mold. Haven't liked it yet. Haven't even used it yet! I'll try the vinegar. Hopefully that knocks it out before this weekend.

    Tin Canteen Rust

    Does the first solution work with stainless steel canteens? I recently bought from Crazy Crow and they came with some spots already in there.

    Which Brown Bess?

    I've shot both Indian and Pedersoli. Shoot, I've held an original in my hands before. While the Pedersoli is pretty good quality, I wouldn't say all Indian guns are bad. I got mine from Loyalist. It needed some finishing work (I still need to retouch the stock) and had to shave the main spring a...

    Military Heritage Company of Canada

    Isn't it just the Discriminating General by another name?

    TURN is back.

    It could turn into alternative history ha!

    TURN is back.

    I'm actually fairly excited. I think I missed the premiere, I'll have to go and see if I can record the replay. They were selling off a bunch of stuff from the set a while ago, but they were only selling to people that can pick up on location. Couldn't do the drive. Would have been nice to get...

    Diamonds and cold weather

    I've done a cold event (well, it's cold for February in NC) in a diamond. Couldn't do a fire because of where the thing had been set up at, so ended up bundling up with lots of layers. Insulation is your best friend. You can also lower the entrance a bit to keep some of the heat in. I mean, it...

    Maryland Sutler tents

    They seem to have tents for both eras. Here is a link for the Rev War stuff. Seems to be made of same material of other tents, Sunforger, but I've never heard of anyone talk about these guys. I was looking at the Dragoon tent from PP. Dimensions should fit everything and lumber is fairly ship...

    Maryland Sutler tents

    So, I'm in the market for a Rev War wedge tent (with a bell for space); basically looking for something to save up a bit for. I've shopped around the usual suspects: Panther Primitives and Tentsmiths. I know the quality is great, especially with their pricing. However, I found the Maryland...

    Looking for some advice on purchasing a Brown Bess

    I'd also recommend Loyalist. I bought a SLP from them at the beginning of the year as a late graduation present to myself. They had great service and delivery. The only hitch we had was with the ATF that didn't quite understand their own laws. Not perfect, but I don't think it's complete junk...

    Good place to get wool fabric?

    Seems like that 96 site is down or at least being updated.

    Good place to get wool fabric?

    It's not whether I know it's wool or not, but the texture of it? As you said, if it's carded or whatever or not. I'd like to make them into breeches if I can. I just don't want to pay an exorbitant amount from some Scottish milled wool. I just want a simple red and black check. But I don't want...

    Good place to get wool fabric?

    I'm planning on doing the Moore's Creek event next winter and I was thinking of adding a bit of Scottish flair to my kit, but without going the whole great plaid route. Instead, I was thinking of making some tartan breeches in the style we can see in Niel Gow's portrait. David Allan in his...

    Scalp Lock

    Latex? Though I think that seems to be a one-time use.
  17. NC Highlander

    First time Buyer

    Well, it at least seems like a good starting point? I don't think I can really expect to have completely top-notch quality, I don't have a few thousand to blow, but rather bang(or, klakfff) for buck.
  18. NC Highlander

    First time Buyer

    Well, that's slightly disconcerting.

    First time Buyer

    I just had an event this weekend and pretty much had all the guys asking around. Actually got to borrow a guy's SLP Pedersoli, because his son wasn't going to make it the second day. Definitely a bit easier to handle than an LLP, considering I'm short. I did find a Japanese Bess on Gunbroker...

    First time Buyer

    I'm not really discounting India guns. If something good pops up, I'm still pretty open. There's not much wrong with an LLP, I don't mean to come across that way. As Grenadier stated, our unit portrayal is a few years after the war started and we used SLPs. The only event we could really use...
